Survey of commercial plantations

This survey, to be conducted every five years under the provisions of EU-regulation 1337/2011, provides comprehensive data on the area planted and the variety of fruit planted in certain fruit plantations as well as detailed information on the number and the age of trees and their regional density in Austria.

Survey on fruit plantations 2017

With reference date of 15 November 2017 Statistics Austria carried out the survey on fruit plantations based on the national Regulation BGBl. II Nr 247/2017.

Due to the results, 3 909 holdings cultivated fruits, which is 7% less compared to the previous comprehensive survey 2007. The total area reached 15 700 ha (+15% to 2007). Nearly half of the area (49%) was grown with apples, 16% were berries (incl. Aronia), 10% nuts, 9% elderberries, 6% apricots, 4% pears, 2% cherries (incl. sour cherries), 2% plums and 1% peaches (incl. nectarines).

While the area of apples with 7 700 ha decreased by 3% compared to the survey 2012 (where only apples, pears, apricots and peaches were included), apricots showed a significant increase by 17% to 1 000 ha. Pears also registered a surplus of 15% to 620 ha.

As the survey criteria 2017 have been partly changed considering the previous surveys (2007 and 2012) the comparability to them is limited.

2020 fruit harvest

A production of 192 700 tons of dessert fruits was achieved in 2020, as Statistics Austria reports. This was 13% below the ten years' average and 14% lower than the previous year's production.

Pome fruit brought a quantity of 168 300 tons (-12% compared to 2019) and decreased below the long-term average level (-13%). The production of stone fruit was exceptionally weak and reached only 5 600 tons – this was 64% below the previous year's production and 56% below the ten years' average. The harvest of berries yielded 18 700 tons, which was 13% over the ten years average and corresponded to the previous year's level (±0% to 2019). Apples, the main Austrian fruit species, achieved a harvest of 160 100 tons (-13% compared to 2019). Apricots were severely affected by spring frosts and therefore achieved only a very low production of 950 tons (-90% to 2019). Strawberries yielded 13 300 tons (-2% to 2019).
