Summary
Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union (EU), aims to provide high-quality statistics and data on Europe. In partnership with National Statistical Institutes and other national authorities in EU Member States, Eurostat produces European statistics through the European Statistical System (ESS). Eurostat’s comprehensive range of statistics includes data on various aspects of agriculture, such as the structure of farms, economic accounts for agriculture, agricultural prices and indices, agricultural production, organic farming, and the intersection of agriculture and the environment.
Within the livestock data, a subset focuses on the goat population in different EU countries from 2013 to 2022. The data can be filtered by the following categories: total live goats, goats mated and having already kidded, goats mated for the first time, goats having already kidded, and other goats. The unit of measurement is in thousands of heads. This subset of data offers a comprehensive overview of goat populations, aiding in understanding trends and patterns across EU member states.
Eurostat also offers a user-friendly data visualization tool featuring line graphs, bar graphs, and a geographic map to easily track and explore the trends and changes over time.
