Summary
This series of annual statistical releases from DEFRA provides official estimates of total income from farming in the United Kingdom, aggregating data across all farming types and regions. The releases track changes in farm-level economic performance over time, incorporating commodity prices, production costs, and subsidy receipts. As an official statistics publication, it serves as a primary reference for policymakers, researchers, and analysts examining the financial viability of UK agriculture.
UK applicability
This source is wholly UK-specific and directly applicable to policy analysis, agricultural economics research, and assessments of farm business resilience within the UK context. It is particularly relevant given the post-Brexit transition from EU Common Agricultural Policy payments to the England-specific Environmental Land Management schemes.
Key measures
Total income from farming (£ million); agricultural subsidies and direct payments; input costs; output values by commodity sector; year-on-year percentage change
Outcomes reported
The release reports aggregate total income from farming (TIFF) across the UK agricultural sector on an annual basis, covering receipts, subsidies, input costs, and net farm income trends from 2015 to 2024.
