Horticultural Production

Two sets of statistics are kept on horticultural production – horticultural statistics and apple orchard statistics. The former cover horticultural production in its entirety. The latter are small in scope and are published at five-year intervals for the needs of the EU.

Apple Orchard Statistics

Statistics on the varieties of apple cultivated on commercial apple orchards, the age of the trees and their planting density are compiled at five-year intervals. The latest statistics are for 2007.
