publikationen (PDF)”. The Swedish
horticultural industry is complex and consists of holdings with a variety of
orientations and challenges. Just like agriculture in general, the
horticultural business has experienced dramatic changes during the past few
years, including a decreasing number of operators. In the horticultural sector
however, the changes have proceeded in a faster and more dramatic fashion. In order to
create an overview of the structure and status of the Swedish horticultural sector,
this report describes the composition and and development of this industry
during the period 2002–2014, with respect 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 2014, 60 % of the horticultural holdings also carried out
other agricultural operations, such as animal husbandry or cereal production. The
holdings running both agri- and horticultural operations were farming almost
twice as much arable land as an average Swedish agricultural holding. The number
of horticultural holdings decreased by 29 % during the period 2002–2014.
The decrease was equally distributed between greenhouse and open ground
holdings, while cultivators of ornamental plants decreased more than
cultivators of edible plants. For both open ground- and greenhouse holdings,
the decreased number of holdings is evenly distributed among size classes
except for the very largest and the very smallest holdings, which exhibited increased
or equal numbers in 2002 and 2014. The development of the horticultural
industry appears to depend on many factors, including localisation, crop type,
form of cultivation and specialisation. List of tables
