The figures in this table are derived from the agricultural census. Data collection for the agricultural census is part of a combined data collection for a.o. agricultural policy use and enforcement of the manure law. Regional breakdown is based on the main location of the holding. Due to this the region where activities (crops, animals) are allocated may differ from the location where these activities actually occur. The agricultural census is also used as the basis for the European Farm Structure Survey (FSS). Data from the agricultural census do not fully coincide with the FSS. In the FSS years (2000, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2010) additional information was collected to meet the requirements of the FSS. Reference date for livestock is 1 April and for crops 15 May. Since 2016, information of the Dutch Business Register is used to define the agricultural census. Registration in the Business Register with an agricultural standard industrial classification code (SIC), related to NACE/ISIC, (in Dutch SBI: ‘Standaard BedrijfsIndeling’) is leading to determine whether there is an agricultural holding. This aligns the agricultural census as closely as possible to the statistical regulations of Eurostat and the (Dutch) implementation of the definition of 'active farmer' as described in the common agricultural policy. The definition of the agricultural census based on information from the Dutch Business Register mainly affects the number of holdings, a clear deviation of the trend occurs. The impact on areas (except for other land and rough grazing) and the number of animals (except for sheep, horses and ponies) is limited. This is mainly due to the holdings that are excluded as a result of the new delimitation of agricultural holdings (such as equestrian centres, city farms and organisations in nature management). Until 2010 the economic size of agricultural holdings was expressed in Dutch size units (in Dutch NGE: 'Nederlandse Grootte Eenheid'). From 2010 onwards this has become Standard Output (SO). This means that the threshold for holdings in the agricultural census has changed from 3 NGE to 3000 euro SO. For comparable time series the figures for 2000 up to and including 2009 have been recalculated, based on SO coefficients and SO typology. The latest update took place in 2016. In 2011 there were changes in geographic assignment of holdings with a foreign main seat. This may influence regional figures, mainly in border regions. Data available from: 2000 Status of the figures: the figures are provisional. Changes as of 20 November 2018: the provisional figures for 2018 have been added. When will new figures be published? According to regular planning provisional figures for the current year are published in November; definite figures follow three months later.

In addition to numbers, cattle are broken down by: cattle kept for the production of milk and cattle for fattening. The cattle population is counted on 1 April and 1 December. Data available from: 1 December 2008. Status of the figures: New figures for cattle population are provisional when first published. When new data from the Agricultural census become available the provisional figures become definite. Changes as of 08 October 2018: The provisional figures for April 2018 have been added. When will new figures be published? The provisional figures of April are published in September. The provisional figures of December are published in February of the next year. The definite figures of April and December are published in April of the next year.

It also includes data on excreted nitrogen that evaporates as ammonia and other nitrogen compounds. The use of nitrogen and phosphate in agricultural holdings is calculated from the manure production and the difference between supply and removal of manure. The use of manure is related to the available spreading area based on fertilising standards. Data available from: 1950. Status of the figures: Final figures with exception of figures on gaseous nitrogen losses in 2017; New insights in calculation methodologies can lead to recalculation of the time series. Changes as of 2 july 2018: Provisional figures on manure production and nutrient excretion in 2017 are replaced by final figures. When will new figures be published? In the first quarter of 2019 provisional figures on manure production and nutrient excretion in 2018 and final figures on manure transports and the use of manure by agricultural holdings in 2017 will be published.

The number of pigs is broken down into: - type of pigs (piglets, pigs for fattening, breeding pigs); - reference date (April, August and December). N.B. the considerable difference between the figures for 1997 and the previous and subsequent years are caused by the swine fever outbreak in February 1997 and the following clear-outs. Data available from: April 1981. Status of the figures: New figures are provisional when first published. When new data from the Agricultural census become available the provisional figures become definite. Changes as of 8 October 2018: The provisional figures for April 2018 have been added. When will new figures be published? The provisional figures of April are published in September. The provisional figures of December are published in February of the next year. The definite figures of April and December are published in April of the next year.

Data cited at:  CBS StatLine databank https://opendata.cbs.nl/statline/portal.html?_la=en&_catalog=CBS Publication: Milk supply and dairy production by dairy factories https://opendata.cbs.nl/portal.html?_la=en&_catalog=CBS&tableId=7425eng&_theme=977 License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   In the Netherlands about 96 percent of all raw cow's milk from dairy farmers is delivered to dairy factories. The remaining 4 percent is kept by the dairy farmers themselves for their own use (to feed young cattle and/or manufacture dairy products). This table contains data about the volume of cow's milk delivered by dairy farmers and the products manufactured by the dairy industry in the Netherlands. The table contains monthly figures as well as yearly figures. The figures on raw cow's milk concern volume, protein content and fat content. Dairy products include butter, cheese, milk powder, concentrated milk and whey in powder or block form. The data in this table are provided by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) gathers data for two series on dairy products, namely monthly statistics and yearly statistics. As the monthly figures are based on about 98 percent of all cow's milk delivered to dairy factories, a provisional adjustment is done by the Agency. This adjustment only concerns collected milk and these monthly figures are revised when the yearly figures become available. The table does not contain figures about fresh products such as drinking milk for consumption or acidified milk products such as yoghurts. Figures about these products are only available for the years 1995-1997. Data available from: January 1995 Status of the figures: The monthly figures are provisional at first publication. Definite month and year figures are published in August/December of the following year. Changes as of 13 December 2018: The provisional figures of October 2018 have been added. The figures of July 2018, August 2018 and September 2018 have been updated. When will new figures be published? Approximately six weeks after the month under review.
