First estimate potato plantings in Great Britain

The Potato Council’s first estimate of total potato plantings1 for the 2013 crop year in Great Britain is 121,200 hectares. This is similar to 2012, down only 0.5% on the final planting figure from that crop year, of 121,800 ha. This initial estimate is provisional, being based only on a sample2 covering 60% of producers by area. As with all estimates based on a sample, results should be treated with caution as, despite every effort to make the sample as representative as possible, there is a possibility that the planting decisions made by those not included in the sample may differ from those who are included.



The Potato Council’s estimate of planted areas for 2013 will be updated at the end of July and provided as a breakdown by varieties at the end of August. A production estimate based on actual 2013 yields will be published in mid-November.
