Summary:This paper computes marketing margins of EU-27 agri-food systems using Input-Output tables (IOTs); such estimation is more accurate than those yielded using macroeconomic aggregated data from national accounts. Some relevant economics flows are then observables: a) Exchange relationships among activity branches of agri-food system; b) Production uses splitted between intermediate and final consumption; c) Value and variation of whole margins for branch and for whole system; d) margins variations during the strong fluctuation in raw agricultural prices (price spike). When chain-linked price tables will be available for more years it will be possible to separate the price component and quantity component of value changes.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)
