In EnglishSummary Summary
The total agricultural
area in applications for EU-subsidies has increased by 70 200 hectares
According
to the applications for EU-subsidies, the total area of arable land has
increased by 56 100 hectares between 2004 and 2005 just as the total area
of pasture and meadowland has increased by 14 100 hectares. Thus, according to
the applications, the total agricultural area has increased by 70 200 hectares.
The reason for increasing, almost certainly is the Mid Term Review, especially
on the subject of pasture and meadowland. The Mid Term Review for Sweden begins
to take effect mostly from 2005. Areas under cereals,
oleiferous plants and leguminous plants have decreased
Based upon
applications, the cultivation of cereals has decreased by 98 500 hectares, or
almost 9 % to 1 029 100 hectares compared with
2004, just as cultivation of rape and turnip rape
has decreased by 1 800
hectares, or almost 2 % to 82 500 hectares. The cultivation of
leguminous plants, too, has decreased by 1 900 hectares, or almost 4 %
till 40 900 hectares compared with 2004. On the other hand, ley and green fodder have increased by 109 600
hectares, or almost 11 % to 1 088 200 hectares compared with 2004. The
definite areas for different crops in 2005 may differ to some degree from these
numbers. This is due to the farmers handing in applications for EU-subsidies
prior to sowing. The farmers have the opportunity to change their applications
until mid-June. List of tables 1 Areas under cereals in 2005. Hectare 2 Areas under leguminous plants, ley and green fodder in 2005.
