Supporting Indicator 10 - Food and Drink Labour Productivity

Labour Productivity of Food and Drink Manufacturing (GVA per employee)
Source: Office for National Statistics, Annual Business Survey (Complied by the Scottish Government)

Between 2008 and 2010^[20]:

• Labour productivity of Scottish food and drink manufacturing overall decreased by 3.8%.

• Labour productivity in drinks manufacturing increased by 4.1%.

Supporting Indicator 11 - Food and Drink Manufacturing Businesses by Size

Food and Drink Manufacturing Enterprises based in Scotland by size
Source: Scottish Government, ONS (IDBR)
Notes:
Graph scale is in percent but numbers have also been added as labels for additional information. The numbers of enterprises are rounded to the nearest 5. Totals may not equal the sum of the constituent parts due to rounding. The figures shown at the top of each bar are the total for all sizes of enterprises. Data for 2007 are based on SIC 2003 and data from 2008 onwards are on a SIC 2007 basis.

Between 2008^[21] and 2012:

• The number of food and drink manufacturing companies registered in Scotland has remained mainly unchanged over the period. There were 800 registered enterprises based Scotland in 2012, 20 more than in 2008.
• Between 2011 and 2012, the number of food and drink manufacturing enterprises based in Scotland increased from 790 to 800.

Changes:

• In 2010, the second income decile spent the largest percentage of their total expenditure on food and non-alcoholic drinks (19.7%) while in 2007, the lowest income decile spent the largest percentage of their total expenditure on food and non-alcoholic drinks (16.0%).
• In 2010 the 10% of total households earning the highest incomes spent the lowest percentage of their total expenditure on food and non-alcoholic drinks (9.7%). However, in 2007, it was the eighth income decile which spent the lowest percentage on food and non-alcoholic drinks (9.3%).
• The highest increase in expenditure was experienced by the 2^nd income decile where expenditure on food and non-alcoholic drinks as a percentage of household expenditure increased by 5.4 percentage points, from 14.3% to 19.7% between 2007 and 2010.
• The largest decline in expenditure on food and non-alcoholic drinks as a percentage of household expenditure was experienced by the lowest income decile from 16.0% to 15.2%.

Note: Totals shown at top of bar

Between 2006 and 2009:

• Food and packaging waste fell by almost 70% from 28,028 tonnes to 8,766 tonnes. This was driven by a fall in food waste from 12,662 tonnes in 2006 to 3,226 tonnes in 2009. Mixed waste also fell from 11,415 tonnes in 2006 to 1,637 tonnes in 2009, a fall of 86%.
• In 2009, packaging waste made up the largest share of waste in the food and drink industry accounting for 45% of all food and drink waste. This was followed by food waste which accounted for 37% of total food and drink industry waste whilst mixed waste accounted for the smallest share at 19%.

Supporting Indicator 17 - Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Food and Drink Manufacturing

GHG emissions from Scottish food and drink processing, 2007-2010
Source: GHG Inventories for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: 1990-2010, NAEI
Note: data includes tobacco processing

Changes:

• GHG emissions, by source, from food, drink and tobacco processing in Scotland decreased by 11% between 2007 and 2010, falling from 594 kt of CO₂ equivalent in 2007 to 529 kt CO₂ equivalent in 2010.
• GHG emissions were highest in 2008 at 664 kt CO₂ equivalent.

Please note that this indicator now uses data from National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI). Previously data for the indicator was based on experimental statistics for Scotland, these have not been updated and there are no plans to update these in the future. The emissions are source based emissions only. Thus they do not account for emissions resulting from the generation of electricity that is used on site. They also do not include emissions resulting from the transport of food and drink.

Supporting Indicator 18 - Eco-Schools Scotland Food and Environment Topic

Registered Local Authority Eco-schools
Source: Eco-Schools Scotland

Between 2007 and 2012:

• As of 1 January 2012, there were 3,073 local authority schools registered in the scheme.
• Between January 2007 and January 2012 there was an increase in the proportion of local authority schools with green flag awards, from 14 per cent to 41 per cent.
• Data on participation in the Food and Environment topic is not yet available from the Eco-schools database. However, response to a postal survey sent out to schools found that in 2011 8.6% of registered schools were learning and teaching about food issues and in 2012 this increased to 19.5% of registered schools^[26]. This represents an increase of 130 schools over the year.

Please note, the food and environment topic is not compulsory and was made available in March 2011.
