first time since 2002, the greenhouse area used for tomato cultivation increased
in 2012 compared with the year before. Tomato was cultivated on 421 000
square meters, which represents an increase by 20 % since 2011, and was
the largest area used for tomato cultivation since 2008. Greenhouse cultivation
of cucumber also increased by 8 % between 2011 and 2012, to a total of
656 300 square meters. The aggregate cultivation of aromatic plants and
potted lettuce maintained the continuous increase in greenhouse area used seen since
2002, reaching 166 200 square meters in 2012. This represents an increase
by 13 % since 2011, and 75 % since 2002. The
production of cucumber and aromatic plants increased by 7 and 50 %, respectively
between 2011 and 2012, while the production of tomatoes remained unchanged and
the production of potted lettuce decreased by 41 % during the same period.
The decrease in tomato production was likely an effect of an ongoing change in
tomato assortment, towards an increased share of small tomatoes. The largest
area used for any of the investigated crops was the 2 225 hectares used
for strawberry cultivation, while the largest crop from a production
point-of-view was carrot, of which 128 700 metric tons were produced. Open ground
cultivation of the investigated crops exhibited few apparent differences
compared with 2011. The cultivated areas for white cabbage and leeks decreased
by 12 and 36 %, respectively, to 376 and 116 hectares. In addition, leek
production decreased by 37 % to 2 800 metric tons, while the
production of onions increased by 37 % to 50 400 metric tons. List of tables
