Total income from farming per hectare in Scotland, 2019 - £147 per hectare

Income in Scotland was similar, per hectare, to that in Wales and the least productive of England's regions, North East England.

The region with the highest income, the East of England generating £634 per hectare, over four times greater than Scotland.

The East of England region mainly produces high value crops and benefits from being closer to infrastructure and having a better climate and soil types that help sustain a wider variety of farming types.
