Vegetable production | Turkey – yearly data, chart and table

Data relate to vegetable crops grown mainly for human consumption. Crops such as cabbages, pumpkins and carrots, when explicitly cultivated for animal feed, are therefore excluded. Statistics on vegetables are not available in many countries, and the coverage of the reported data differs from country to country. In general, it appears that the estimates refer to crops grown in field and market gardens mainly for sale, thus excluding crops cultivated in kitchen gardens or small family gardens mainly for household consumption. In Austria, for example, reported data refer to field crops only and in Cuba they refer to procurement from State and private farms. Production from family and other small gardens not included in current statistical surveys constitutes quite an important part of the estimated total production in certain countries: for example, Austria, France,Germany,Italy and the United States. For the reasons mentioned above, continental and world totals are far from representative of the total area and production of the different kinds of vegetables. Production data include data on vegetables shown separately, as well as data on all other kinds of vegetables. They also include estimates for non-reporting countries and, when available, production of noncommercial crops for countries reporting only production for sale.
