Value of vegetable and pig output rise in 2020

A column chart showing the value of vegetables and pig output in 2019 and 2020.

2019 data has been revised in this publication. This is due to more data having been collected on economic activity for this year. Therefore 2019 data is called a 'Second Estimate'. Next year the 2019 data will be refined a little more and will be recorded as the 'Final Estimate'.

Total output from farming in 2020 - £3.45 billion

Gross output from farming is estimated to have risen marginally in 2020. Outputs were worth £3.45 billion compared to an estimated £3.23 billion in 2019.

Increases were seen in the value of output for vegetables and pigs. Vegetable output increased by 27 per cent to £197 million and makes up six per cent of total farm output.

Finished pigs also increased in value by 26 per cent to £139 million. Elsewhere in the sector, the value of eggs, also increased in 2020 by 17 per cent to £113 million.
