What Is a Commodities Account?

Commodity accounts refer to the accounts of the supply of domestically produced and imported goods and their allocation to intermediate and final demand. The receiver of this account reflects the whereabouts of the distribution of goods; the branch of this account reflects the source of the supply of goods. It is usually priced at the producer's price to facilitate input-output analysis. When the corresponding accounts of the receiving and paying parties register the amount of accounting events at the same time, it is a commodity flow. Except for imported goods, this flow is priced at the producer's market price (that is, the purchase price of the product is equal to the sum of the basic value and tax). ^[1]
