Notes:
1. There have been changes in the farm type classifications therefore comparison over time is not possible for some categories.
2. Prior to 2000 minor holdings are not included in the figures. From 2000 onwards all holdings are included. A minor holding has to meet all the following conditions:
(a) have a total area of less than six hectares
(b) a labour requirement of less than 100 standard person days
(c) no regular full-time farmer or worker
(d) a glasshouse area of less than 100 square metres
(e) the occupier does not farm another holding
3. The introduction of the Single Payment scheme in 2005 has lead to an increase in the number of registered holdings.

June agricultural survey

Matthew Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the gross value added in (a) Cornwall, (b) the South West and (c) the UK was of (i) dairy, (ii) crop, (iii) horticulture, (iv) livestock, (v) poultry and (vi) organic farming in each year since 1979. [149311]

Jonathan Shaw: Please find as follows a table detailing the available data which begins in 1995. Gross value added data for the different sectors of agriculture are not available. Gross output values are therefore provided as an alternative. Data for organic farming are not available.
