(1) Crop yield estimates are taken mainly from the Cereal Production Survey. Some estimation from industry experts has been included in the yield and production estimates for winter barley, oats, triticale and oilseed rape.

(2) The yield and production figures are partly based on Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) and British Potato Council estimates.

(3) Production is valued at the point it is used or sold off the farm, so there can be differences between production volumes presented here and output volumes presented in subsequent tables.
