Field inspection survey in 2007 Krasimira GALABOVA GeoCAP, JRC Ispra
Outline • Purpose:comparisonbetween the cost forclassical Field Inspection(FI)and OTS carriedout byControl with Remote Sensing (CwRS) • Field inspection survey data • Results of the FI survey
Need of FI survey • OTS controls~7 %of all claims at EU level performed either using classical FI or CwRS: • In 2001 total number of RS checks in EU 15 over the total number of OTC checks CwRS - 61% • In 2007 - 51% but EU 27, 2008 - 54% and 2009 - 61% Why do MS use CwRS? Pro & cons: + Focus inspection to problem claims / parcels - Less flexible in space (restricted to zones defined at campaign start, poorer risk analysis?); cannot replace field visit for particular checks (AEM, LFA,…) + Is CwRSfaster,cheaper?-> object of survey
Field inspection survey • Request sent to 27 MS • Data sent back by14 MS, complete in 9 MS: BE WA, BE FL,CZ,EE,ES, GR,IT, LT, NL, PL, SI, SK, UK EN, UK WA Data collected • Total number of OTS checks in 2007, total claimed area checked • Area of farms field inspected
Data collected • Number of FI • Number of farms checked with RS • Number of farms followed up in the field • Average number of days for FI • Period over which FI were carried out • % of parcels checked in the field • Mean number of parcels, mean area of farms FI • Average cost per farm field inspected and RS
Difficulties Difficulties from MS to separate costs of RS and FI and provide data: • number of parcels inspected in SK, UK EN--> use of CwRS sum stats • number of days for FI (CZ, BE WA) • cost of CwRS and follow up checks (LT)
Classical Field Inspection (FI) versus CwRS (% of total OTS checks) All data provided by MS
Cost of classical field inspection and CwRS per farm in Euro > 1000 € RS cheaper than FI in all MS Large range of FI cost - Why? FI < 80 € RS FI: from 75 to 1065€ per farm, average ~ 380 € CwRS: from 30 to 250 per farm, average ~ 110 €
Are farms field inspected larger than farms checked with RS? From 7 to ~ 80 ha - FI RS > FI In 3 MS, farm larger on average in CwRS sample!
Potential factors explaining cost of FI • Farm area • Number of parcels • % of parcels inspected • Number of days • Cost of inspector’s day Some of these factors may be correlated!
FI cost increases with mean farm area UK EN BE FL Cost, € BE WA IT PL EE SL NL LT Farm area (ha)
FI cost increases with number of parcels per farm UK EN Cost, € Be WA Mean number of parcels per farm (ha)
FI cost increases with number of inspection days BE FL Cost, € BE WA EE SI Mean number of inspection days per farm
FI increases with % of parcels checked in the field by inspector % ranges from 50% (i.e. regulation minimum, increased in case of discrepancy found) – LT, PL, SI?, NL, BE, EE to 100% - UK EN Min 50% Cost, € % of parcels checked
Model predicting FI cost FI Cost = 9,5 farm area + 8,0 nb parcels + 4,6 nb days + 4,35 % parcels checked – 332 R2 = 0.83 -> factors used are good predictors of the Cost of FI
Predicted by the model cost vs real FI cost FI cost Predicted FIcost
Ratio cost of field inspection / cost of CwRS per dossier checked Average ratio ~ 4 2 groups of MS: BE / NL, EE, PL, IT, LT, SI, UK EN Why in BE ratio > 10 and in NL, EE, PL ratio < 2 ? The higher the ratio, the higher the cost efficiency of CwRS!
Reason for variability in ratio cost (field inspection / CwRS) • High difference (CwRS relatively cheaper than FI) expected where CwRS does not include FV: UK EN - ratio of 4 • Low difference in cost (low ratio) expected in MS where CwRS includes 100% field visits : PL, EE, BE • Case of PL: ratio of 2, CwRS saving on area measurement (2days / 189€) • But not case of BE Wa (ratio of 13) Same ratio in BE FL (ratio of 12) In both regions, high number of days of FI
Conclusions • Average cost of FI for 1 day ~ 180€ • The most important factor to explain FI cost is farm area(correlated – on this data set – with number of parcels per farm) • Field Inspection costs on average ~ 4 times more than CwRS • Large differences of ratio between FI and RS costs: ratio ranges from 1 to 13. Reason not yet fully understood! • Cost of imagery not taken into account (could be useful if one day the Commission stops financing of RS imagery, anyway images will be nearly free in 2025)
Thank you • To MS that gave this sensitive data! Question: Should we hide reference to MS in public ppt? • If More MS want to participate…
