CerealsCereals include wheat, barley, rye and oats, among other crops. Maize is shown separately.MaizeMaize is shown separately from cereals so you can follow its area and distribution across municipalities.OilseedsOilseeds are crops grown for their oil-rich seeds. Explore their declared area and distribution across municipalities.PotatoesExplore declared potato-growing areas and see where they are concentrated in Denmark.Sugar beetFollow the declared sugar beet area over time and across municipalities.LegumesThe legumes group includes peas, beans and related crops covered by our classification.Grass and fodderThis group includes grassland and the other fodder crops covered by our classification.FallowFallow covers the fallow and set-aside areas in our classification. The figures describe declared area, not ecological quality.VegetablesVegetables include the vegetable crops covered by our classification. The figures show the total area for the group.Fruit and berriesFruit and berries are shown as one group. Explore the total declared area and the municipalities where the group is most prominent.

Method and caveats

How the figures are calculated

Declared area is allocated by proportional overlap and largest remainder. A field is counted once in the municipality containing its largest overlap.

Effective crop diversity is exp(Shannon), calculated from classified area in the broad editorial crop groups.

All years use the pinned 2026 DAGI municipality boundaries. The national figure is calculated from unique fields and is not the sum of municipalities.

The crop groups are openlanddata presentation groups, not an official SGAV classification.

The figures describe aggregate declared areas for each year and cannot be used to track crop rotation on individual fields.
