Overview This document contains eight standalone fact sheets for each of the regions of England. London has been combined with the South East as it has such small amounts of agricultural activity. We have used data from three trusted National Statistics sources to give headline information on agricultural activity in the regions. Information on where to get more detailed evidence is included in this document.

Key facts cover:

• Total income from farming • Total output • Farm types • Land areas and use • Crops • Livestock • Labour • Farm Business Income

Data sources

The data in the factsheets has been obtained from three Defra data sources that are all National Statistics publications. National Statistics are produced to high professional standards. They undergo regular quality assurance reviews to ensure that they meet customer needs. They are produced free from any political interference.

Defra June Survey of Agriculture, a large sample survey sent to a representative sample of holdings across England. The data relates to commercial holdings. Commercial holdings are defined as those with significant levels of farming activity, that is holdings with any one of the following: more than five hectares of agricultural land, or one hectare of orchards, or 0.5 hectares of vegetables or 0.1 hectares of protected crops, or more than 10 cows, or 50 pigs, or 20 sheep, or 20 goats or 1,000 poultry.

For further information on the June Survey of Agriculture, please see: https://www.gov.uk/structure-of-the-agricultural-industry-survey-notes-and-guidance

The Farm Business Survey (FBS) is an annual survey providing information on the financial position and physical and economic performance of farm businesses in England.

The sample of farm businesses covers all regions of England and all types of farming with the data being collected by face to face interview with farmers. Results are weighted to represent the full population of farm businesses that have at least 25 thousand Euros of standard output as recorded in the annual June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture. In 2018, this accounted for approximately 57,100 farm businesses. In 2016 the sample was reduced from 1800 to 1750 farm businesses.

For the 2018/19 survey year values are based on 2013 standard output coefficients with values for 2017/18 recalculated for comparability. Values for previous years are therefore not directly comparable.

For further information about the Farm Business Survey please see:

Regional Agricultural Accounts First and second estimates of regional accounts are published each year under the title ‘Total Income from Farming for the Regions of England’. Total Income from Farming (TIFF) is revenue generated by production within the agriculture industry including direct payments and represents business profits and payment for work done by owners and other unpaid workers. TIFF is the bottom line of accounts itemising agricultural outputs and inputs. The regional accounts are constructed by applying bespoke regional coefficients to each item of the England agricultural accounts. The coefficients are derived from data collected via the June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture and the Farm Business Survey.

Data uses and users

The factsheets have been produced in response to user requests for concise information on agricultural activity at a regional level in England. They are also available to download as individual pages for each region.

Next updates

It is envisaged that the factsheets will be updated in July/August and January when new data is available.

June Survey of Agriculture – Summer 2020 update for data relating to 2019.

Farm Business Survey – January 2021 update for data relating to 2019/20.

Regional Agricultural Accounts – July/August 2020 update for first estimates of 2019 and January 2021 update for second estimates of 2019.
