Agriculture

The chapter provides statistical information on agricultural production and changes thereof over a year, as well as changes in crops grown by farmers.

In 2022, agricultural production at current prices totalled EUR 4.6 billion. Compared to 2021, the volume of total agricultural production increased by 4.8 per cent. The volume of crop production increased by 6.4, animal production – 1.7 per cent. The increase in crop production was determined by more abundant harvest of leguminous plants (39.1 per cent) and cereals (5.3 per cent). Animal production increased due to a 4.7 per cent increase in cattle breeding and a 3 per cent increase in milk yield.
