Summary Summary
The value
of agricultural output is expected to decrease by 1.7 % in 2005 compared with
2004. Both crop output and animal output decreases. The decrease is 1.6 % and
2.5 % respectively. The decrease in crop output is mainly from cereals and
industrial crops while the decrease in animal output is mainly from milk and
egg production. The factor
income of agriculture is expected to have decreased with 1.8 %. The factor
income is calculated as the sum of production value and direct subsidies, which
have increased during the year, minus the costs of intermediate consumption and
fixed capital consumption. These costs have also increased during the year. The total
harvest of cereals decreased preliminary with 8 % in 2005 compared with 2004.
The decrease can mainly be attributed to a smaller area of cultivation. A
decrease of 9 % has been reported. The decrease of the area of cultivation most
likely is an effect of the new subsidy system for agriculture in the EU. There
were also unfavourable conditions for sowing in the autumn of 2004. The prices
of cereals have increased slightly according to preliminary figures. The harvest
of oil seeds decreased with 12 % according to preliminary figures. The main
reason is that the yield per hectare decreased in 2005 compared to 2004. The
year 2004 had very high yields per hectare and even though there was a decrease
in the yield per hectare, the yield was higher than normal. The price
of potatoes decreases according to preliminary figures while the volume of
potatoes increases. The prices
of pigs and cattle increases and the prices of poultry decreases compared with
2004. In all, the prices of animals is estimated to increase in 2005. The
slaughtering of pigs and cattle has decreased in 2005 according to preliminary
figures. The slaughtering of poultry has increased. The
quantity of eggs delivered to wholesalers and the quantity of milk delivered to
dairies are expected to have decreased in 2005 compared with 2004. The prices
of eggs and milk are expected to decrease slightly during the same period. In the
middle of December Eurostat will publish the first estimates of agricultural income
in the member states in 2005. 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 (-1.4 %) and that the
rise in the implicit price index of GDP is approximately 1.2 %, indicator
A will show a decrease by 1.5 % for Sweden. However, the uncertain factors
must be stressed. List of tables
