Summary Summary
This report
provides final data for the year 2003 for organic and non-organic farming
concerning yield per hectare and total production of cereal crops, peas,
oilseed crops, table potatoes and temporary grasses. The method used for the
crop products surveys for organic farming are the same as for the ordinary crop
products surveys. The results are presented for
counties, production areas and for all of Sweden. The production areas are
shown in Map 1. The
tables show the number of observations, yield per hectare in kg, total production
in metric tons, crop areas, the share of the organic crop area compared to the
total crop area, the quota of the yield from organic farming and the yield from
non-organic farming. Standard errors are given for yield per hectare and total
production. Cereals, peas and oilseed
crops
Total
production for the whole country of cereal crops from areas with subsidies for
organic farming is estimated at 233 400 tons. This is fully four per cent
of the total production of cereals. From this quantity about 151 600 tons
are also certificated and can as a result be sold as organic products. The total
production of winter wheat from areas with subsidies for organic farming is
estimated at 44 000 tons or two per cent of the total production of winter
wheat. The certified production of winter wheat is 37 000 tons. Among the
cereals, oats is the crop that shows the highest total production, both from
the total area with subsidies for organic farming and for the certified area. The yield
per hectare is lower for the organic farming compared to the non-organic
farming. The difference is greater for the flat country than for the wooded
districts. Total
production of peas from areas with subsidies for organic farming is estimated
at 12 700 tons, which is 16 per cent of the total production of peas. The 2003
harvest of rape and turnip rape from areas with subsidies for organic farming
is estimated at about 2 400 tons, which is two per cent of the total production
of rape and turnip rape. Statistics
on crop yields for cereals, peas and oilseed crops have been based entirely on
an interview survey. The sample of the 2003 survey for organic farming consists
of 1 300 farmers out of 8 143. The survey was carried out in October and
November. Information was requested for total farm production in tons of the
crops and their average moisture content. Yields per hectare at the farm level
are calculated by dividing the production by the crop area of the farm. Unharvested
crop areas are included and will lower the yield per hectare. Crop area
statistics has been calculated from data on areas with subsidies for organic
farming. Crop areas cut as green fodder have been excluded. Unharvested areas
and areas cut as green fodder are presented in separate tables. Potatoes
The total
production for table potatoes from areas with subsidies for organic farming is
estimated at 10 500 tons. This is almost two per cent of the total production
of table potatoes. The results
are based on a mail survey with a sample of 223 out of 919 holdings with table
potatoes. The areas are based on data on areas with subsidies for organic farming. The
tables show the number of observations, the total and reduced yields per
hectare in kg and total production in metric tons. Standard errors are also presented.
Unharvested areas are shown in a separate table. As for reduced yields, the
yield per hectare is reduced for small, blighted and green potatoes for table
potatoes. These reductions are made with standard values, derived from the objective
potato surveys conducted until 1998. Adjustments in the reduced yields have
also been made for unharvested areas, which have lowered the yield per hectare. Temporary grasses
The total
production of temporary grasses from areas with subsidies for organic farming
is estimated at 965 900 tons, at 16.5 per cent moisture content. The
results area based on telephone interviews. The sample size is 526 holdings. The survey
covers only temporary grasses harvested as hay, hay-silage or silage, and
includes re-growth. It does not cover temporary grazings or re-growth from
temporary grasses that is grazed. List of tables
