Agricultural workforce
Employment in agriculture statistics. Includes information on the number of people employed on farm and seasonal labour in the horticulture sector
This page replaces the previous Structure of the agricultural industry for publications after June 2022.
This series includes a range of publications relating to employment on farms.
These publications summarise information from the June survey of agriculture and horticulture, and the survey of labour in Horticulture for England run by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. United Kingdom results also included information sourced from the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Department for Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland.
Also summarised are results from the Labour in Horticulture survey. These experimental statistics are collected quarterly and provide information on labour shortages on farms with horticulture in England.
