Scottish farm business income: annual estimates 2021-2022
Farm business level estimates of average incomes for 2021-2022. A National Statistics publication for Scotland.
Cattle and sheep farms see smaller increases
Livestock farms in less favoured areas (LFA) have low but stable incomes compared to other farm types.
Increased livestock output mainly drove small increases in income across all livestock farm types in 2021-22. Whilst they increased from the previous year, average incomes for LFA livestock farm types were still typical when compared to the previous ten years.
