About this data

German agriculture from input to income. For every field crop - cereals, pulses, root crops, oilseeds, green fodder, permanent grassland and special crops - the area sown, the yield per hectare and the resulting production, where area times yield reproduces production for each crop and year. The dairy chain follows from farm to table: raw milk delivered to dairies, output of drinking milk, fresh products, butter, shelf-stable products and cheese, and per-capita consumption of the same product groups. Alongside them the commercial fertiliser sold domestically by nutrient, and the agricultural account from output at producer prices down to net value added at factor cost.
