horticultural industry is complex and consists of holdings with a variety of
orientations and challenges. Just like agriculture in general, the
horticultural business has seen dramatic change during the past few years, with
for instance a decreasing number of operators but cultivated areas that have
barely changed in size. The difference is that the changes have proceeded in a
faster and more dramatic fashion in the horticultural industry. In order to
create an overview of the structure and status of the Swedish horticultural
industry, this report describes the composition and and development of this
industry during the period 2002–2011, with regards to among other things the
number of holdings, their size, employment, specialisation and crop type. The Swedish
horticultural businesses can hardly be considered an isolated part of
agriculture. In 2011, close to 70 % of the horticultural holdings also
carried out other agricultural operations, and these holdings exhibited
cultivated areas more than twice as large as the average Swedish agricultural
holding. The number
of horticultural holdings decreased by almost 40 % during the period
2002–2011. The decrease was most apparent within the greenhouse cultivation and
among those mostly among cultivators of ornamental plants. For both open
ground- and greenhouse holdings, the decreased number of holdings is evenly distributed
among size classes except for the very largest holdings, which exhibited
increased numbers. The largest holdings also appear to be more specialised and
more work efficient than small holdings. The development of the horticultural
industry differed markedly depending on for instance localisation, crop type,
form of cultivation and specialisation. List of tables
