The term 'European countries' encompasses 30 countries:

• The 27 Member States of the European Union: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
• The 2 Member States of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) that participate to the MUCF work: Norway, and Switzerland.
• The United Kingdom.

The MUCF Minor/Major crops database contains different national lists of crop status information available to the MUCF.

The interface allows users to search for crop status information for a specific crop in a specific European country. The search can be refined using the following categories:

• The crop common name (English) and scientific name (Latin or English in case of non-taxonomic name).
• The crop EPPO Code.
• If relevant, a 'crop qualifier' intended to specify the definition and/or use of the crop (e.g., animal consumption, seed production). When possible, this crop qualifier refers to an EPPO Code.
• The relevant European country.
• The crop status (minor or major crop) in this country.
• The year of last confirmation of the crop status (last update by the MUCF National Contact Point).

Several European countries may only have provided the MUCF with a list of major crops. In this case, all crops not listed as major can be considered as minor crops in that country.

Not all European countries are incorporated in the MUCF Minor/Major crops database. We intend to gather and incorporate data from further countries in the coming years.

The MUCF is responsible for the compilation and dissemination of the crop status data. The Facility provides free and unrestricted access to national data sets provided by several European countries.

Through this database, the MUCF works to ensure that high-quality and nationally comparable data are made accessible to all European countries, thus contributing to building a comprehensive knowledge base on European crop status information. The MUCF is fully committed to promoting open data practices to improve data access, derive additional value from data assets, and maximize data use.
