Economic Report on Scottish Agriculture 2015

8.4 Total Income from Farming

Estimated Total Income from Farming for 2014 was £688 million in Scotland, about £4,200 million in England, £283 million in Northern Ireland and £212 million in Wales.

However these differences are partly due to the different sizes of the countries. If the total hectarage of agricultural area is taken into account, agriculture generated about £445 per hectare in England, £274 per hectare in Northern Ireland, £117 per hectare in Wales and £111 per hectare in Scotland.

Chart 8.5 shows the estimated Total Income from Farming, calculated per hectare, for 2013 and 2014. Please note that 2014 figures are very much a first estimate and are likely to change when updated next year.
