Primary production

Statistics about primary production give details about animal farming (including sheep, beef and dairy cattle, and deer), crop growing (including grain and seed crops, fruit and vegetables, wine grapes and nursery plants), forestry and farm practices (including irrigation and fertiliser use).


2007 Agricultural Production Census

The final statistics are now available for decision makers


Statistics New Zealand has undertaken the 2007 Agricultural Production Census, a five-yearly snapshot of New Zealand's primary production. All farmers and foresters were surveyed about their farming and forestry business.

The 2007 Agricultural Production Census statistics present a snapshot of New Zealand primary production. Additional tables are available; these follow the first final release of statistics from 2007 Agricultural Production Census in May 2008.

Census statistics are used to assist people in primary production, and agricultural and rural-sector organisations make important decisions, which often have wide-ranging consequences and help shape the communities we live in.
