§ Mr. Amessasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the top 10 agricultural products exported from Great Britain in 1986, in each case giving the amounts produced and the amounts exported.
§ Mr. GummerThe top 10 exported agricultural commodities can be defined in a variety of ways. The following table shows those commodities which had the largest export values in 1986. The export information is not completely comparable with the production figures as it includes overseas produce re-exported from the United Kingdom.
Commodities, such as tea, which consist entirely of re-exports have not been included in the table. All the information relates to the United Kingdom as information for Great Britain is not readily available.
