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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will publish information on food stock-to-consumption ratios in the UK.

Defra publishes a related measure, production to supply ratio, for a range of produce in its Agriculture in the UK publication. The same publication includes stock changes in its supply and use tables for cereals. The department’s UK Food Security Report 2024 also includes global stock to consumption ratios for a range of agricultural commodities.
