In 2023, the UK's barley yield stood at 58.12 thousand hectograms per hectare. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a marginal annual decline, suggesting a decrease in productivity. Year-on-year variation reflects a slight decrease of approximately 0.10% in 2025, continuing to drop similarly each subsequent year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a steady decrease of around 0.13% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of climate change on crop yield.
- Technological advancements in agriculture that could offset yield declines.
- Market demand fluctuations, particularly in brewing and animal feed sectors.
- Agricultural policy changes that might influence production practices.
