Estimates of the percentage of meat, eggs, fruit, vegetables and milk consumed and which were produced domestically are provided in table 1. These figures are based on volumes of production and trade.
This information is not available for bread production. However data on the tonnage of wheat grain used for milling and the proportion of wheat grain that is home grown is collected and is shown in table 2. This is also based on volumes but is for the crop year rather than calendar year. The grain will be milled into flour for a range of purposes including bread, biscuits and cakes. It is not possible to provide information that distinguishes home grown wheat grain milled for bread flour.
