Agricultural production, subsidies, and market data via Power BI dashboards on the Ministry of Agriculture website.
Landing page: https://www.stjornarradid.is/verkefni/atvinnuvegir/landbunadur/maelabord-landbunadarins-/
Launched February 2021 as a COVID-era transparency initiative. Three Power BI reports are embedded as iframes on the page, each covering a different domain. Data comes from the ministry's internal systems (Afurð, Bústaðir) and Statistics Iceland (imports/exports).

All three reports share tenant ID f1025c1c-31ee-4240-bc30-d3addbf6d912.

| Dataset | Description |
|---|---|
| Meat production | By species (lamb, beef, pork, poultry, horse), age, sex |
| Meat sales | Domestic sales by product category |
| Meat inventory | Stock levels at year-end |
| Meat imports/exports | Volumes with bone-ratio adjustment option |
| Vegetable production | Greenhouse and field crops |
| Kjötmatsflokkur | Carcass grading classes (e.g. DU3, UN O2) |
Key concept — Beinahlutfall (bone ratio): Imported meat is mostly boneless. Domestic production is recorded as whole carcasses. The dashboard offers a toggle to view import volumes as-if with bone for fair comparison.

| Dataset | Description |
|---|---|
| Farm counts | Number of farms from 1981 onward |
| Regional distribution | Farms by landshluti (region) |
| Livestock by type | Sheep, cattle, horses, poultry, pigs |
| Manager demographics | Gender breakdown of farm managers |
| System | Owner | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Afurð | Ministry of Agriculture | Subsidy records, meat processing data, farm counts |
| Bústaðir | Ministry of Agriculture | Livestock registry |
| Hagstofa Íslands | Statistics Iceland | Import/export statistics for meat products |
| Term | Translation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Búvörusamningar | Agricultural product agreements | 4 contracts: garðyrkja, sauðfjárrækt, nautgriparækt, rammasamningur |
| Beingreiðslur | Direct payments | Paid per volume (vegetables) or per greiðslumark (dairy/sheep) |
| Greiðslumark | Payment quota | Measured in litres (dairy) or ærgildi (sheep) — tradeable |
| Ærgildi | Ewe equivalents | Unit for sheep payment quota |
| Kjötmatsflokkur | Carcass grading class | e.g. DU3, UN O2 — determines price |
| Afurðaflokkur | Product category | e.g. kindakjöt covers both adult sheep and lamb |
| Beinahlutfall | Bone ratio | Adjustment factor for comparing boneless imports to whole carcass domestic production |
The farm identifier rendered on the "Eftir búi" page is an 8-digit búsnúmer (the dashboard usually shows it without its leading zero, so you see 7 digits in the UI). Drop the last digit to get the 7-digit landsnúmer.
búsnúmer 12345678 → integer(busnr) // 10
landsnúmer 1234567 ← landsnúmer (may also have a leading zero)
Once you have the landsnúmer, two registries resolve it to coordinates:
| Source | Coverage | Geometry | When to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| iceaddr / Staðfangaskrá (bundled SQLite, iceaddr) | ~138k landnúmer incl. historical farms | Point (lat/lon) | Default. ~100% hit rate for farm búsnúmer. |
| HMS Landeignaskrá (shapefile, hms) | ~89k formally surveyed parcels, only ~3.4k JÖRÐ | Polygon | When you need parcel boundaries, not just a point. Many farm búsnúmer miss here. |
Worked example — top cattle-subsidy recipient 2026 is búsnúmer 16656491 (Gunnbjarnarholt 2):
landsnr = 16656491 // 10 # 1665649 → dropped the last digit
# Look up in iceaddr:
from iceaddr import iceaddr_lookup # or direct SQLite SELECT on stadfong.landnr
# Returns lat 64.10, lon -20.52 — Skeiða- og Gnúpverjahreppur.
See scripts/maelabord_nautgripa.py + scripts/nautgripa_map.py for a concrete end-to-end scrape → geocode → map pipeline for the Nautgriparæktarsamningur recipients.
