To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what estimate he has made of the (a) quantity and (b) monetary value of soft fruit produced in England in each of the last 10 years. (270644)

Data are available for England and Wales combined rather than just for England, but since the majority of the soft fruit is grown in England these figures will largely reflect soft fruit grown in England. The estimates for quantity and value are presented in the following table. Figures for 2008 are provisional. Quantity information is in thousand tonnes and the value of production is in £ million.
