In EnglishSummary Summary
This
report provides final data for the year 2007 for the 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, crop areas and
total production in metric tonnes. Standard errors are given for yield per hectare
and total production. Cereals, dried pulses and
oilseed crops
The total
production of cereal crops for the whole country is estimated at
5 057 600 tonnes, excluding grain maize. This is 23 per cent
more than in 2006 and on the same level as the average for the last five years.
Grain
maize is cultivated predominantly in Skåne county in the southern part of
Sweden. The total production of grain maize in Skåne is estimated at about
9 000 tonnes. The total
production of winter wheat is estimated at 2 087 800 tonnes.
This is equivalent to 41 per cent of the total production of cereal crops. Total
production of peas is estimated at 38 000 tonnes, which is 25 per cent
less than the previous year. The total production of field beans (Vicia faba
L.) is estimated at 11 300 tonnes. The 2007
harvest of rape and turnip rape is estimated at 222 400 tonnes. This is on
the same level as the average for the last five years. The total production of
oil flax is estimated at 6 700 tonnes. Since
1998, statistics on crop yields for cereals, dried pulses and oilseed crops
have been based on an interview survey. For the first time in 2005, the farmers
can also use Internet as a tool for data delivery to Statistics Sweden. The
sample of the 2007 survey consists of 4 377 farmers. The survey was carried
out in October and November. Information was requested for total farm production
in tonnes of these 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 statistics 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
26 300 kg and the total production is estimated at 534 700 tonnes.
The corresponding figures for potatoes for processing of starch are 31 660
kg and 254 300 tonnes, respectively. The results
for 2007 are based on a survey with a sample of 1 118 holdings for table
potatoes and a sample of 185 holdings for potatoes for processing starch. Data
collection is made by telephone interviews and by Internet. The areas are based
on statistics from IACS. The tables
17 and 18 show the number of observations, the total and reduced yields per hectare
in kg and total production in metric tonnes. Standard errors are also
presented. Unharvested areas are shown in table 27. 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 2007 was estimated at 4.7 per cent for table
potatoes and 11.0 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 4 154 300 tonnes and
the yield per hectare at 5 000 kg per hectare, at 16.5 per cent moisture
content. The results are presented in tables 19-22. 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 2007 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 are grazed. List of tables 1. Winter wheat. Yield per hectare, crop area and total production in 2007 2. Spring wheat.
