European statistics on the structure and production potential of orchards have been collected since 1977 every 5 years. In the 1977 and 1982 surveys only four fruit species were covered (apples, pears, peaches and oranges). Since 1987 also apricot, lemon and small citrus fruit trees as well as cooking apples and pears have been part of the survey. In 2018 the orchards structure data collection was moved to Integrated Farm Statistics, as a module to be collected in 2023. A great deal of simplification was sought, by removing the collection of the density and age classes per variety and use (human consumption or processing).
