Table explanation


This table contains data on land use, arable farming, horticulture, grassland, grazing livestock and housed animals, at regional level, by general farm type.

The figures in this table are derived from the agricultural census. Data collection for the agricultural census is part of a combined data collection for a.o. agricultural policy use and enforcement of the manure law.

Regional breakdown is based on the main location of the holding. Due to this the region where activities (crops, animals) are allocated may differ from the location where these activities actually occur.

The agricultural census is also used as the basis for the European Farm Structure Survey (FSS). Data from the agricultural census do not fully coincide with the FSS. In the FSS years (2000, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2010) additional information was collected to meet the requirements of the FSS.

Reference date for livestock is 1 April and for crops 15 May.

Data available from: 2000

Status of the figures: the 2025 figures are provisional; the other figures are final.

Changes as of November 28, 2025: the provisional 2025 figures have been added.

When will new figures be published?
According to regular planning provisional figures are published in November and the definite figures will follow in March of the following year.

Description topics

Horticulture, in the open
Refers to the growing of crops in the open, usually directly for
the market.
Area
Flower bulbs
Includes dahlia, gladioli, hyacinths, irises, crocuses, lilies, daffodils, tulips and zantedeschia.
Number of farms
Note: the sum of underlying parts may be bigger than the total for the whole group, because a holding may have several activities (such a holding is counted for each activity, but only once in the total).
Flower bulbs
Includes dahlia, gladioli, hyacinths, irises, crocuses, lilies, daffodils, tulips and zantedeschia.
Horticulture, other
Refers to cultivation that does not require land use (mushrooms, bulb forcing, Belgian endive cultivation).
Area, amount
Bulb forcing
The term 'forcing' refers to inducing a plant to produce its shoot, leaf, and flower ahead of its natural schedule and out of its natural environment.
Hyacinths
Daffodils
Tulips
Other bulb forcing
Belgian endive cultivation
The area of roots, grown in the previous year, from which Belgian endive leaves are grown in the current year.
_
Belgian endive is biennial. In the first year the roots are grown; in the following year these are induced to produce creamy white leaves, to be cooked or eaten raw in salads.
