In EnglishSummary SummaryThe
production value in agriculture is estimated to have been much the same in 2002
as in 2001. The total
harvest of cereals in 2002 was was approximately the average of the last five
years. The area under cultivation decreased by 4 % compared to 2001 but
hectare yields increased somewhat and were higher than normal. However, there
were differences between different kinds of cereals. The harvest of wheat and
rye decreased, partly because the area decreased. Another reason for the decrease
in wheat harvest was that autumn wheat (with high yields) was partly replaced
by spring wheat because of the weather conditions during the autumn of 2001
(with late harvest and a lot of rain). The harvest of barley and oats on the
other hand increased and so did the areas. Preliminary producer prices
for the harvest of 2002 show a decrease. For oilseeds both area and harvest increased by some
50 %. There was a strong price increase already in 2001 - and another
small increase in 2002 - which explains the growing interest for these crops. The potatoe harvest continued to decrease. The area under cultivation of potatoes decreased to. Producer prices have dropped during the autumn. As for most crop products producer prices for animals have decreased, in particular for pigs after relatively high prices in 2001. Slaughter of both cattle and pigs is estimated to increase by 2 - 3 %. Product subsidies for cattle increased as a result of another rise in premium levels. To a smaller extent the increase is an effect of the change in the the exchange rate between the Swedish crown and the euro. The quantity of milk delivered to dairies decreased somewhat during 2002 and so did deliveries of eggs to wholesalers. Prices of both milk and eggs have increased somewhat. Producer
prices in agriculture as a whole have decreased somewhat. Prices of the means
of agricultural production on the other hand have risen by approximately
1,5 % from 2001 to 2002 and the value of intermediate consumption is
estimated to have increased. Factor income is expected to have decreased by
4 %. During
spring Eurostat will publish the second estimates of agricultural income in the
member states in 2002. The development is usually measured by indicator A, i.e.
the change of real agricultural factor income per annual work unit. On the
assumption that labour input continues to fall (-4 %) and that the rise in
the implicit price index of GDP is almost 2,5 %, indicator A will show a
decrease by some 2,5 % for Sweden. However, the uncertain factors must be
stressed. List of tables List of terms
