§ Kate HoeyTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what percentage of agricultural produce is grown organically within the United Kingdom. [44868]
§ Mr. MorleyWe do not know what percentage of agricultural produce is grown organically within the United Kingdom. However, land area registered as organic is 0.3 per cent. of the United Kingdom's utilisable agricultural area. We have recently announced measures to boost interest in conversion to organic farming, and decisions on further recommendations will be made in the context of the comprehensive spending review.
