In EnglishSummary Summary
This
report provides final data for the year 2004 for yield per hectare and total
production of cereal crops, dried pulses, oilseed crops, potatoes and temporary
grasses. The results are presented for counties,
production areas and for all of Sweden. The
tables show the number of observations, yield per hectare in kg, total production
in metric tons and crop areas. Standard errors are given for yield per hectare
and total production. Cereals, dried pulses and
oilseed crops
Total
production of cereal crops for the whole country is estimated at
5 507 800 tons. This is four per cent more than 2003 and four per
cent more than the average for the previous five years. The total
production of winter wheat is estimated at 2 159 400 tons. This is
equivalent to 39 per cent of the total production of cereal crops. Total
production of peas is estimated at 88 000 tons, which is about 11 per cent
higher than the previous year. Field beans (Vicia faba L.) is included
in the crop yield survey for the first time in 2004. The total production of
field beans is estimated at 12 400 tons. The 2004
harvest of rape and turnip rape is estimated at 227 500 tons. Compared to
the previous year, this is an increase of 76 per cent. This dramatic rise is
explained by both higher yields per hectare and increased cultivation of rape
and turnip rape. The total production of oil flax is estimated at 11 600
tons. Since
1998, statistics on crop yields for cereals, peas and oilseed crops have been
based entirely on an interview survey. The sample of the 2004 survey consists
of about 4 350 farmers. 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 final data on usage of arable land. The figures
on areas are mainly based on data from the Swedish administrative database for
agricultural subsidies, IACS. Crop areas cut as green fodder have been
excluded. Unharvested areas and areas cut as green fodder are presented in separate
tables. Potatoes
The results
are presented for table potatoes and potatoes for processing of starch. For the
whole country, the yield per hectare for table potatoes is estimated at
27 610 kg and the total production is estimated at 635 000 tons. The
corresponding figures for potatoes for processing of starch are 39 720 kg
and 344 000 tons, respectively. The results
for 2004 are based on a mail survey with a sample of 1 300 holdings for
table potatoes and a sample of 190 holdings for potatoes for processing starch.
The areas are based on statistics from IACS. The
tables 16 and 17 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 table 26. As for reduced yields, the
yield per hectare is reduced for small, blighted and green potatoes for table potatoes.
The reduction for potatoes for processing of starch is made only for blighted
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. The unharvested area 2004 was estimated at 2.3 per cent for table
potatoes and 0.7 per cent for potatoes for processing of starch. Since 1960,
Statistics Sweden has produced statistics for potatoes using an objective method
based on probability sampling and physical measurements with samples taken from
the fields. The method was changed 1999 to mail enquiries to a sample of
farmers. Due to the changes, all comparisons with years before 1999 should be
made with great caution. Temporary grasses
The total
production of temporary grasses is estimated at 3 784 200 tons and
the yield per hectare at 5 010 kg per hectare, at 16.5 per cent moisture
content. The results are presented in tables 18-21. Between
1993-2001 there have been no official Swedish statistics for yields from
temporary grasses. Starting 2002, a mail enquiry with follow-up by telephone is
performed yearly. The results for 2004 are based on a sample of 1 000
holdings. The survey
covers only temporary grasses harvested as hay, hay-silage or silage including
re-growth. It does not cover temporary grazings or re-growth from temporary
grasses which is grazed. List of tables 1. Winter wheat. Yield per hectare, crop area and total production in 2004 2. Spring wheat. Yield per hectare, crop area and total production in 2004 3.
