Agriculture Facts & Figures
A National Statistics Publication for Scotland.
Do you know how many sheep there are in Scotland? Or how much milk is produced? Or the size of the food & drink industry? These and many other key agricultural statistics can be found in the handy pocket-sized Facts and Figures card for the Agriculture Sector published by the Scottish Government today.
The 12-page leaflet brings together a wide range of information from the Government’s agriculture analysts, and serves as a useful reference for information on Scottish agriculture. It will be distributed free of charge at the Scottish Government’s pavilion at this year’s Royal Highland Show.
