Cereals and Oilseeds production estimates: 2007 harvest

This release updates the provisional UK estimates which were published on 11 October 2007. It includes regional estimates for cereal production and yield, and oilseed rape from set aside land by region following the 2007 harvest. Oilseed rape from set aside land can be used as an indicator of non-food production (it is used industrially in lubricants, and is also grown for biodiesel).

These latest estimates are based on a higher number of responses, using later returns and extra validated data, so have better coverage of all crops. Most cereal production figures have been revised downwards very slightly since provisional results were published. In most cases this is due to small downwards adjustments to yields, rather than changes to areas.
