Agricultural and rural affairs statistics
Information about agricultural land, livestock and farm workers. We also publish this information and provide analyses for the development, monitoring and evaluation of agricultural policy. The Unit also provides advice about rural affairs and rural definitions. Particularly about what rural definitions exist and how to decide which is most appropriate for a particular task.
This includes the implementation and running of surveys of agricultural holdings in Wales, which includes estimating the numbers of livestock, land use and numbers of people working in agriculture as well as the Agricultural Small Area Statistics Bulletin.
