Abstract
The article addresses improving the methodology for distributing the annual volume of unobserved agricultural production in Russia by month.The study used methods for calculating averages and variances, dispersion analysis and the index method.The study aims to explain the algorithm for distributing the annual volume of agricultural production by month to improve the quality of official statistical information. The authors analyzed existing approaches to the distribution of agricultural output, reviewed the experience of other countries in the subject area of the study, and formulated methodological recommendations for distributing the volume estimates of the output of unobserved types of agricultural production by month.Official statistical methodology, published results of scientific research by Russian and foreign scientists, current regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and other countries in the subject area, and agricultural calendars for the period under review served as a theoretical foundation for this work.The scientific novelty of the conducted study lies in developing scientific and methodological recommendations for the distribution of agricultural production volumes in actual prices by month to improve the objectivity of official statistics. The relevance of the study stems from the need to refine the existing approaches to the distribution of the annual volume of agricultural production.
