This table provides, for each arable crop, information on the area cultivated and harvested, the yield per hectare and the total yield in a harvest year. The data are available for the Netherlands in total and by province.
By using crop rotation, an arable farmer prevents the land from being exhausted. A building plan is therefore drawn up each year to ensure that the same crop is not grown on the same plot of land in a year. The arable area usually consists of a third cereal (mainly winter wheat and spring barley), a quarter of potatoes, an eighth sugar beet and a tenth for both arable vegetables (mainly onions) and green fodder (mainly maize).
In order to arrive at the yield figure, a provisional harvest reduction is first made. This will take place in August to October.
The final harvest estimate is partly published at the end of January and partly at the end of March of the year following the harvest year.
These figures are then included in this table as provisional until the end of September in the year following the harvest year.
Yields per hectare are rounded to 100 kilograms, the total yield being 1000 kilograms.
Data available from: 1994.
Status of the figures:
The figures for 2021 are provisional. Figures up to 2020 are final.
Change with effect from 29 October 2021:
The provisional 2021 figures for the harvested area for flax and linseed have been added to the table. The provisional figures for 2021 for gross yield per hectare and total gross maize, corn cob mix, cut maize, flax, linseed, hemp, chicory, brown beans, total potatoes, ware potatoes, sugar beet, sowing and seed and planting gear (2th year) have been added to the table.
When will there be new figures?
The provisional estimates are published for cereals at the end of September and for all crops at the end of October of the harvest year. The final harvest estimate figures are published at the end of January and updated at the end of March of the year following the harvest year. These figures may then be amended until the end of September.
