The amount of produce available for consumption in the United Kingdom is measured by its total new supply. The following tables show production in the United Kingdom as a proportion of total new supply.

UK production as a proportion of total new supply Percentage

Information specifically on the amount of bread-making wheat consumed in the United Kingdom that was produced by British farmers is not available. However, available data show that the following proportion of home grown wheat was used by United Kingdom millers:

Nick Harvey: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what proportion of cattle and sheep products consumed in the UK was produced domestically in each of the past 10 years. [104911] Mr. Morley: [holding answer 25 March 2003]: Data relating to the national origin of the actual products consumed is not available. However, it is possible to calculate the UK production as percentage of the total new supply for use in the UK (home production plus imports less exports). This will, naturally, result in figures being greater than 100 per cent. for those products where UK production exceeds home consumption. Data are provided in the following table for cattle and sheep products for the 10-year period 1993 to 2002. Percentage _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Beef and Mutton and Liquid milk Butter Cheese Cream Condensed Skimmed Veal Lamb milk milk powder 1993 100 116 100 71 72 136 127 148 1994 112 111 100 69 69 142 125 152 1995 114 110 100 69 70 136 141 157 1996 89 102 100 68 68 147 130 107 1997 77 97 100 79 67 144 130 141 1998 83 101 100 78 64 151 136 127 1999 80 104 100 71 63 146 127 180 2000 79 100 100 64 63 137 111 -527 2001 72 78 100 63 66 134 105 111 2002 72 84 100 69 68 148 114 117 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Note: Consumption includes products placed in store and therefore products released from the store count as negative consumption. The exceptional figure shown for Skimmed Milk Powder in 2000 resulted from high levels of stocks moving out of intervention for export.
