The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an estimate of the economic contribution of farming in Derbyshire.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

Defra does not produce county level estimates of the economic contribution of farming so no estimates are available for Derbyshire. Estimates are only available at regional level.

The total income from farming for the East Midlands region (which includes Derbyshire) in 2023 was £835 million. Full details are available here: Total Income from Farming in the regions of England in 2023 - GOV.UK.
