Search tip:
If you search by year you will end up with hundreds of records creating a very large page to download. It is better to search by subject, e.g. wheat or sufficiency. AgriStats has been compiled using data from DEFRA.

Notes on use:
Data used in our AgriStats section was accurate at time of incorporation into our database but is primarily intended to illustrate trends. National figures concerning the industry are often revised and subject to changed methodology in calculation. As a result direct comparison between years should only be undertaken with care.
