Annual statistics on the economic performance of agriculture in the English regions

Note: Second estimates at a regional level for 2017 are not yet available whilst improvements are completed to the methodology and data sources. A publication in June 2019 will include both first estimates for 2018 and second estimates for 2017 at a regional level for England.

Results for England, previously published as part of the Agriculture in the English Regions series, are now published independently and can be found here, Total Income from Farming in England.

England only figures are being published separately from the regional results because they are available at an earlier date.This annual publication presents information about agricultural performance in the English regions. The regions are defined according to the European Union Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics - level 1 (NUTS1), which for England means the North West, North East etc.

The publication summarises key components of the production and income accounts for UK agriculture and describes the relative growth in Total Income from Farming in the short and medium term. The contribution that the agricultural industry makes to the regional economy is compared with that for England as a whole.
