The Statistical Yearbook of Food, Agriculture and Forestry is an extensive database for an overview about the agricultural sector. Reliable and well-founded data and facts are extremely valuable for business, society, scientific research and politics. They reflect the prevailing conditions and underlying developments, thereby providing an indispensable bedrock for economic and political decisions.

The data provided by the Statistical Yearbook of Food, Agriculture and Forestry is based on a variety of statistical sources. It is partly drawn from the BMEL's own statistics and calculations, but mainly comes from data collected by official statistics agencies on a statutory basis.
