Utilised agricultural area is the main area used for farming and it includes the following land categories: arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens used by the holdings, regardless of the type of tenure or whether it is used as common land. Unused agricultural land, woodland and land occupied by buildings, farmyards, tracks, ponds, etc. are excluded.

The concept of "main area", that means the area of the land parcel, applies. In case of annual crops, the main area corresponds to the sown area; in the case of permanent crops, to the total planted area; in the case of successive crops, to the main crop that occupied the parcel during that year; and in the case of simultaneous crops, to the corresponding area of the different crops.

This indicator expresses the sum of the energy supplied to agriculture for all energy uses.

Harvested area of fresh vegetables (including melons) and strawberries. It includes all brassicas, leafy and stalked vegetables, vegetables cultivated for fruit, root, tuber and bulb vegetables, fresh pulses, other vegetables harvested fresh (not dry), including melons, and strawberries, grown on arable land outdoor in rotation with other agricultural or horticultural crops and under glass or high accessible cover.

Production area of permanent crops intended for human consumption. It includes all fruit trees (in particular apples, pears and cherries), all citrus fruit trees, all nut trees, all berry plantations (except strawberries), all vineyards, all olive trees and all other permanent crops used for human consumption (e.g. tea, coffee or carobs).

Wheat and spelt include common wheat, spelt, einkorn wheat, emmer wheat and durum wheat. Cereal grains harvested just before maturity are also included. Cereals harvested green or yellow as whole plant for fodder or renewable energy use are excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).

Area under cultivation of rape and turnip rape, sunflowers seeds and soya, harvested as dry grains.

Area under cultivation of root crops and plants harvested green. It includes potatoes (including seed potatoes), sugar beet (excluding seed), temporary grasses and grazings, leguminous plants harvested green, and other cereals harvested green (excluding green maize).

Green maize include all forms of maize grown mainly for silage (whole cob, parts of or whole plant). It includes green maize directly consumed by animals (without silage) and whole cobs (grain, rachis, husk) harvested for feedstuff or silage, as well as whole cobs for renewable energy production. Maize harvested as grain and corn-cob-mix is excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (65%).

Barley includes winter barley sown before or during winter and spring barley sown in the spring. Cereal grains harvested just before maturity are also included. Cereals harvested green or yellow as whole plant for fodder or renewable energy use are excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).

Dry pulses and protein crops for the production of grain (including seed and mixtures of cereals and pulses) include field peas, broad and field beans, sweet lupins, dry common beans, runner beans, lentils, chickling vetch, chick peas, vetches, and other pulses and protein crops sown in pure crops or as mixtures with cereals, harvested dry for grain, used for fodder, human consumption or renewable energy production. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).

Oats and spring cereal mixtures include oats and other cereals sown in the spring and grown as mixtures. Cereal grains harvested just before maturity are also included. Cereals harvested green or yellow as whole plant for fodder or renewable energy use are excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).

Cereals for production of grain include wheat (common wheat and spelt, and durum wheat), rye, maslin, barley, oats, mixed grain other than maslin, grain maize, sorghum, triticale, and other cereal crops such as buckwheat, millet, canary seed, and rice. It includes cereal grains harvested just before maturity. Cereals harvested green or yellow as whole plant for fodder or renewable energy use are excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).

Harvested production of grapes used for all purposes. It includes grapes for wine, grapes for table use, grapes for raisins and grapes for other purposes.

Grain maize and corn-cob-mix include maize harvested for grain, as seed or as corn-cob-mix. It includes grain maize harvested by hand, corn-picker, corn-sheller or combine harvester, regardless of the use, including grain for silage, and also grain harvested together with parts of the cob, but with humidity higher than 20% and used for silage (so called corn-cob-mix, CCM – humidity 30-35%). Maize harvested green for fodder or for energy use and sweet maize are excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).

Harvested production of table olives and olives for the production of olive oil.

Rye and winter cereal mixtures include rye, mixtures of rye and other cereals, and other cereal mixtures sown before or during the winter (maslin). Cereal grains harvested just before maturity are also included. Cereals harvested green or yellow as whole plant for fodder or renewable energy use are excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).
