Provision of Services for Horticultural Statistics
This is a project to provide annual data to the Defra statistics team on the volumes of production and values of key horticultural crops (fruit, vegetables, ornamentals and potatoes) that growers receive.
The overriding aim of this Contract is to enable the Authority to estimate the value and volume of production of horticulture and potatoes in England and Wales (unless otherwise specified).
The requirement is for the collection, evaluation and dissemination of data for fruit, vegetables, and ornamentals and potatoes (grown in the open and under protection) in England and Wales, as well as monthly marketing tonnage for the key fruit, and vegetable and potato crops.
This data is used to produce statistics that meet UK and International reporting requirements.
The statistics produce annual estimates of the UK supply of horticultural produce and the share of UK consumption and production of UK farm accounts.
The data will become part of an ongoing time series of horticultural statistics.
This is an ongoing requirement to receive annual estimates of production and value of key horticultural crops.
