In line with initial calculations through the Federal Agricultural Data Middle (BZL), the manufacturing worth of German agriculture remained virtually consistent in comparison to the former yr. Crop manufacturing reached a price of 37.3 billion euros (+1.4%), whilst farm animals manufacturing is estimated at 35.3 billion euros (-0.8%).
The elements prerequisites in 2023 negatively impacted the harvest of many sorts of grain. As well as, low global marketplace costs influenced the cost of grain in Germany.
The additional lower in pig stock led to value will increase and thus to a emerging manufacturing worth.
Decrease power costs resulted in falling costs for fertilizers and compound feed.
Crop manufacturing
In line with initial calculations, the manufacturing worth for crop manufacturing totaled 37.3 billion euros, an building up of one.4% in comparison to the former yr.
The harvest of cereal vegetation as a complete fell 2% underneath remaining yr’s stage. Whilst yields of oats (-41%) and barley (-28%) fell, grain maize recorded the next yield (+23%); rye and triticale are estimated to have reasonably decrease or solid yields (wheat: -6%).
A worth drop of 15 to 35% used to be noticed for all sorts of grain (wheat: -30%). Consequently, the manufacturing worth of grain fell through 32.5% to eight.7 billion euros.
Oilseeds accomplished a manufacturing worth of one.9 billion euros (-37%). The will increase in harvest volumes ranged from just below 1% for rapeseed and colza to two% for soybeans and four% for sunflower seeds. The costs accomplished for rapeseed and colza fell through 38%, for soybeans through 25,%, and for sunflower seeds through 47%.
The manufacturing worth of fodder vegetation rose through 43.7% to €5.5 billion in comparison to 2022. Yields for many fodder vegetation, corresponding to grass and maize silage, greater through round 3% to 16%. The costs accomplished rose through between 3% (hay) and 47% (maize silage).
Cattle manufacturing
The manufacturing worth for animals and animal merchandise totaled 35 billion euros, of which 18 billion used to be as a result of animal manufacturing (+7.6%) and 17 billion (-8.3%) to animal merchandise.
In line with initial calculations, the manufacturing worth of pigs amounted to eight.9 billion euros (+15%). Closing yr’s already prime costs rose additional to €2,273 consistent with tonne in 2023 (+18%). Against this, the provision of animals fell once more through 5%.
