Farm structure survey in Sweden – 2007

This 'Statistics in Focus' is part of a series of country-specific publications on the results of the Farm Structure Survey (FSS) 2007. It provides a brief but, nevertheless, comprehensive insight into farm structure in Sweden. A total of 72,600 agricultural holdings were recorded in Sweden in the 2007 Farm Structure Survey, which represents a 4.2% decrease since 2005. The farms with at least 1 European Size Unit (ESU) have suffered a more significant reduction (-13%). This drop affects all size classes but with greater impact on farms under 20 ha (-22%).
