publikationen (PDF)”. Production of potatoes in 2019,
preliminary results
This report
provides the preliminary results of 2019 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 33 050 kilos and the total production is estimated
at 538 200 tonnes. This is an increase of
89 100 tonnes, which corresponds to 20%, compared with 2018 and 17 300 tonnes (3%) more than the last five-year average. Roughly 65 000 tonnes harvested
as early potatoes are included in the total harvest. The total
production of starchpotatoes is estimated at 309 500 tonnes, which is 13% higher than in 2018 and 6% higher the last five-year average. The
statistics include the production of starch potato for seed. The tables
show the number of observations, the total and reduced yields per hectare in
kilos and total production in metric tonnes. Relative standard errors are given
for the yield per hectare and total production. 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 estimated 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 area
statistics that were calculated from final data on usage of agricultural land
in 2019. These area data are 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 2019 were based on a survey with a sample of 690
holdings for table potatoes and a sample of 160 holdings for potatoes for
processing of starch. List of tables
