This
report provides final data for the year 2006 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, 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
Total
production of cereal crops for the whole country is estimated at
4 128 400 tonnes. This is 18 per cent less than 2005 and 22 per
cent less than the average for the previous five years. The total
production of winter wheat is estimated at 1 795 200 tonnes. This is
equivalent to 43 per cent of the total production of cereal crops. Total
production of peas is estimated at 50 800 tonnes, which is 22 per cent
less than the previous year. The total production of field beans (Vicia faba
L.) is estimated at 13 000 tonnes. The 2006
harvest of rape and turnip rape is estimated at 220 400 tonnes. Compared
to the previous year, this is an increase by 11 per cent. The total production
of oil flax is estimated at 11 900 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 2006 survey consists of 4 360 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
25 990 kg and the total production is estimated at 525 300 tonnes.
The corresponding figures for potatoes for processing of starch are 31 690
kg and 252 000 tonnes, respectively. The results
for 2006 are based on a survey with a sample of 1 177 holdings for table
potatoes and a sample of 174 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
16 and 17 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 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 2006 was estimated at 1.4 per cent for table
potatoes and 2.2 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 3 633 000 tonnes and
the yield per hectare at 4 450 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 2006 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 tables1. Winter wheat. Yield per hectare, crop area
