Aggregate agricultural accounts

Aggregate agricultural accounts are a tool for analysing the economic situation of agriculture and are used to support policy making in the UK and EU. They include the aggregate income of the agriculture sector, known as Total Income from Farming (TIFF), a measure of the performance of the whole agricultural industry.

Other income measures designed to compare performance across different farming types, including Farm Business Income, are also available.
