Details
Total factor productivity (TFP) is a key measure of the economic performance of agriculture. It represents how efficiently the agricultural industry uses the resources that are available to turn inputs into outputs. The methodology used to calculate the national statistics for “Total factor productivity for the UK agricultural industry” has been applied to data from the Farm Business Survey for England to produce TFP for selected farm types. Results for specialist pigs, specialist poultry and horticulture farms have not been presented due to concerns around smaller sample sizes for these farm types.
This is the first statistical release on this subject area; it is important to note that these are experimental statistics and as such have not yet been shown to meet the quality criteria for national statistics branding. They are being published to involve users in their development. We would value user feedback on these statistics to improve their value. Please send any feedback to FBS.queries@defra.gov.uk.
Given that the statistics presented in this notice are experimental, the UK national statistics for “TFP for the UK agricultural industry” should continue to be used as the main source of statistics on agricultural productivity.
