Statistics on total income from farming in England

This publication gives information about the aggregate income for agriculture in England, known as Total Income from Farming (TIFF), a measure of the performance of the whole agricultural industry. Aggregate agricultural accounts are a tool for analysing the economic situation of agriculture and are used to support policymaking in the UK and EU.

Total Income from Farming is the total profit from all farming businesses in England on a calendar year basis. It measures the return to all entrepreneurs for their management, labour and capital invested. It excludes changes in the values of assets, including stocks, due to price changes but includes non-agricultural activities such as further processing or tourist activities where these cannot be separated from the agricultural business.

It is the preferred measure of aggregate income for the agricultural industry conforming to internationally-agreed national accounting principles required by the UK National Accounts.
