Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many and what proportion of British farming machinery has been (a) built domestically and (b) imported from overseas since 2010.

Defra does not hold the requested information.

The Office for National Statistics publishes data on UK manufacturers’ sales by product: UK manufacturers' sales by product - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk). This dataset can be used to find specific types of farm machinery. Data for 2022 will be released on 24 July.

HM Revenue and Customs publishes information on Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics, which is available via its dedicated website (www.uktradeinfo.com). From this website, it is possible to build data tables based on bespoke search criteria. All goods imported are given a classification code. These are available from the UK Trade Tariff.
