This
report provides the preliminary results of 2012 for the yield per hectare and
total production of potatoes. The results are presented
for counties, production areas and for the whole country. 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 29 360 kg and the total production is
estimated at 552 400 tonnes. The
corresponding figures for potatoes for processing of starch are 42 540 kg and 255 800
tonnes, respectively. The tables 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 a
separate table. As for the reduced yield, the yield per hectare is reduced for
small, blighted and green potatoes etc. for table potatoes. The reduction for
potatoes for processing of starch is made only for blighted potatoes. These
reductions are made with standard values. When calculating the yields unharvested areas is taken into account,
which lower the yield per hectare and owing to that also lower the production.
The unharvested areas vary between years depending on the conditions during the
growing season. The calculation of total production
is based on the reduced yields and areas based on preliminary statistics from
the administrative database for agricultural subsidies. Since 2006, the farmers can use Internet
as a tool for data delivery to Statistics Sweden, but the data collection is
still mainly undertaken through telephone interviews with the farmers. The
results for 2012 were based on a survey with a sample of 1 048 holdings
for table potatoes and a sample of 187 holdings for potatoes for processing
starch. List of tables
