General description

Farm Income by Farm Type, 2016-17 to 2023-24.

Aggregate totals represent summed weighted totals of the survey sample for each year.

Average figures per farm have been rounded to the nearest £100, therefore rounded figures may not add up exactly to totals. Percentage calculations have been undertaken on unrounded figures.

Data collection and calculation

Farm Business Survey, Welsh Government. Statistical results from the Farm Business Survey (FBS) in Wales are produced and published annually by Aberystwyth University.

Farms are randomly selected from the June Census returns to provide a representative sample of 600 Welsh farms covering the main farm types. Letters are sent to potential participants and if the farmer agrees, a convenient visiting date is arranged by phone. During this recruiting visit the farm area, farming system, opening stock numbers and bank details, as well as other relevant information is obtained.
