On the statistics – documentation, sources and method
See the documentation of statistics to learn more:
The purpose of the survey is to describe the structure of agriculture, e.g. number of farms by size and geography.
The statistics have comparable time series going back to 1982. The agricultural statistics, however, are much older than that with figures for number of farms, livestock, crops etc. going back to around 1900.
