Its data come from the Agricultural Budget Committee statistics managed by NIBIO, which has served as the committee's secretariat since its establishment in 1948; the profitability series reaches back to 1959. The dashboard covers income trends and distribution, cost categories, detailed revenues and expenses, and recent budget-versus-account comparisons. NIBIO says purchased feed made up 26% of Norwegian agricultural costs in 2025, totaling NOK 11.6 billion. This is an annual estimate for the agricultural sector, not consumer food spending or a current market price. ## Data ### Norwegian agriculture costs in 2025 Purchased feed represented 26% of total agricultural costs. Methodology: NIBIO's 2025 annual sector estimate based on BFJ statistics; NOK 11.6 billion and 26% describe the same cost category. | date | label | description | status | |---|---|---|---| | 2026-10-15 | Dashboard launched | NIBIO released a dashboard with an economic series reaching back to 1959. | occurred | Sources: · Download data: [JSON](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/nibio-farm-economics-dashboard-feed-costs-2026/data/nibio-agriculture-costs-2025?lang=en&format=json) · [CSV](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/nibio-farm-economics-dashboard-feed-costs-2026/data/nibio-agriculture-costs-2025?lang=en&format=csv) ### Source-reported indicators Purchased feed represented 26% of total agricultural costs. Methodology: Values retain the source basis. Annual feed figures are 2025 sector estimates; the October seed count uses the deposit period. Other dates identify report publication, not experiment day. Laboratory oil-holding capacity is not nutritional fat content; counts do not establish production or scale-up success. | label | value | unit | period | basis | value_qualifier | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Purchased-feed share of agricultural costs, 2025 | 26 | percent | 2025 | estimate | exact | | Purchased-feed costs, 2025 | 11.6 | billion NOK | 2025 | estimate | exact | Sources: · Download data: [JSON](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/nibio-farm-economics-dashboard-feed-costs-2026/data/reported-observations?lang=en&format=json) · [CSV](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/nibio-farm-economics-dashboard-feed-costs-2026/data/reported-observations?lang=en&format=csv) ## Sources - [Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO)]() (Source checked: 2026-10-15; Published: 2026-10-15) --- Cite the canonical URL above.
