Which Member States are the biggest producers of cereals, tomatoes or apples? How much cow's milk is collected by dairies in the European Union (EU)? Which Member States produce the most cheese, butter or cream? And which produce the most meat from cattle, pigs or poultry? How many people work in the agricultural sector in each EU Member State? How have prices changed over recent years? How important are the forest resources in the EU? How many tonnes of fish were caught and how large is aquaculture production?

The answers to these questions and many more are found in the 2016 edition of the Agriculture, forestry and fisheries statistical book, published today by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. This publication covers production data and includes a wide variety of indicators such as the size of farms and the prices of agricultural products as well as data related to aspects that are relevant for the environmental features of agriculture (e.g. irrigation methods, use of pesticides, or wood used for energy).
