The Bavarian State Office for Statistics has released preliminary findings from the main land use survey of 2024, revealing significant changes in the region's agricultural practices. The total agricultural land in Bavaria spans approximately 3,105,800 hectares, with arable land making up 65.5% of the total. Grain production has seen a decrease of 5.1%, occupying 48.5% of the arable land, while the area for green harvesting plants has grown by 6.0%, accounting for 32.3% of the arable land. Maize emerges as the most cultivated crop, covering 26.0% of the total arable land, followed by wheat, barley, and grain maize. The report also notes a notable increase in fallow land and a decline in the cultivation of sunflowers and pulses, particularly soybeans. Meanwhile, the cultivation of root crops, including sugar beet, has seen an increase, compensating for the decrease in potato cultivation.
