This information requested has now been compiled and is provided below. It is important to note some conditions on which the data is based:

- The total value amount is based on Payment Entitlement values only – it does not include greening.

- It takes the value of the entitlement at the time of leasing – so there is no account taken here of convergence, linear adjustments or any other changes to these entitlements.

- The cases here include those made in 2019 for three years, which will revert to the owner in 2022 before the new CAP programme is applied.

- The figures are comprised of all current active leases – for example, five year leases which began in 2017 are included in these figures.

- It should be noted that the figures include leases from an individual to their own company in addition to those between separate farmers.
