Metodological notes
Data in this statistical release are obtained on the basis of the Survey on agricultural production (APP), conducted by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia during December 2022.
The Survey covered companies and agricultural cooperatives performing agricultural production, as well as family holdings and holdings of unincorporated enterprises from the sample - based survey.
Sown areas are taken to be the areas cultivated and sown with certain crops.
Starting from 1999 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has not at disposal and may not provide available certain data relative to AP Kosovo and Metohija and therefore these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia (total).
Shortened version of methodology is available on the website of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia
