Definition: Usable output

Category: National accounts

Usable output: (3q) = gross output minus losses (at the producer stage)
This is the first item to be entered by countries whose reference harvest statistics do not include losses (cf. 59.2). It constitutes the disposable production of the reference period which will be either marketed, used as a means of production, processed by the producer himself, consumed in his household, put into storage, or possibly, used as own-account produced fixed capital goods. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-27-00-782-__-I-EN.pdf
