preliminary results
This
report provides the preliminary results of 2015 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 31 420 kg and the total production is
estimated at 523 500 tonnes. The
corresponding figures for potatoes for processing of starch are 42 950 kg and 277 200
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 area is taken into account,
which lowers the yield per hectare and owing to that also lowers the
production. The unharvested area varies 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 figures
from the administrative database for agricultural subsidies. Since 2006, the farmers can use Internet for data delivery to Statistics
Sweden, but the data collection is still mainly undertaken through telephone
interviews with the farmers. The results for 2015 were based on a survey with a
sample of 909 holdings for table potatoes and a sample of 190 holdings for
potatoes for processing of starch. List of tables
