There is no trade classification which covers the agri-food sector. The following tables show the value and volume of exports for a wide range of products which are frequently used, but not necessarily exclusively, in the agri-food sector. It should be noted that this list is not exhaustive, and that there may be goods in other classifications not included here which are also used in the agri-food sector. The tables show the value and volume of exports for each classification for the years 2015 and 2016, and the percentage of each exported to Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
