Understanding france agricultural input prices index: non-domestic water
Market price movements for municipal and commercial water supplies consumed for non-domestic agricultural operations, such as livestock watering and sanitation, are measured here. The index covers metered water utility charges destined for operational installations, excluding irrigation water sourced directly from rivers or groundwater bores. It differs from general utility metrics by isolating water intended specifically for non-crop agricultural tasks.
Tariff structures often incorporate seasonal pricing tiers, which can induce predictable cyclical patterns in the reported values. Provisional data points are subject to revision when final utility billing cycles are reconciled. A twelve-month comparison is standard practice to neutralize seasonal utility consumption variations. Users must avoid applying these non-domestic rates to large-scale field irrigation, which typically operates under separate pricing frameworks.
