About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to The Andersons Centre for the provision of an Early Bird Survey of plantings and planting intentions.

The survey, commissioned by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), aimed to provide a first snapshot of United Kingdom crop areas 10-11 months ahead of official June survey data from DEFRA.

The core requirement was to generate a projected area of cereals, oilseeds, and other crops for the upcoming crop year, with a regional breakdown of predominant UK crops.

The survey involved agronomists submitting year-on-year changes in arable crop areas, based on farms without changes in total arable area, to establish cropping changes as a representation for national and regional change.

The data collected was made freely and publicly available by AHDB to inform business planning across the arable industry.

The contract value was £181,000.
