2.1. Data description

The vineyard data set includes data on the structure of vineyards in Cyprus. It covers the holdings growing vines intended to produce grapes for other purposes than table grapes or growing plants for vegetative propagation of before mentioned vines and the area covered by these vines.  The data concerns the vine types, degree of specialisation of vine-grower holdings, main varieties of grapes and age of plants. The data are extracted from the vineyard register. The reference year of the data described in this report is the year 2020.
2.2. Classification system

The classification system used in the vineyard data has several dimensions:  type of vineyards, degree of specialisation of the holding, main varieties (> 500 ha t national level), age of plants and size classes of holdings. More information can be found in the Handbook.
2.3. Coverage - sector

Growing of grapes for other purposes than table grapes (mainly for wine, juice, raisins) (part of NACE rev.  2 classification of A01.21: growing of grapes) and plant propagation for vines (part of NACE rev.  2 classification of A01.30: plant propagation).

Other statistics
Other registers
   
If no comparisons have been made, why not?
Result of the comparison with ACS Small differences
If differences were detected, to which characteristics are they linked ? Total area
Description of the differences

In the Annual Crop Statistics (ACS) the production area refers to the area that can potentially be harvested in the reference year and that all of the non-producing areas (e.g. new plantation that have not yet started to produce) were excluded. In the structural vineyard data were included the areas which are planted with young vines which do not bear grapes or the grapes are not yet harvested and also vines which have not been harvested for 1-5 years were considered as being in production.
Result of the comparison with FSS Small differences
If differences were detected, to which characteristics are they linked ? Total area
Description of the differences

In the structural vineyard data, areas with vines that have not been harvested for 1-5 years were considered as being in production.  However, in the FSS, these areas are not recorded as utilised agricultural area under vines but are included in the unutilised agricultural areas (other farm land).
Other comparison results Small differences
If differences, please give a brief description of the results of this comparison.
