<p>Based on the farm-gate value of raw food, the proportion of UK consumption which
was imported is shown in the table below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>2007</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2008</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2009</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>49%</p></td><td><p>48%</p></td><td><p>49%</p></td><td><p>49%</p></td><td><p>47%</p></td><td><p>46%</p></td><td><p>46%</p></td><td><p>46%</p></td><td><p>48%</p></td><td><p>51%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>More detail on the geographic origin of food consumed domestically, including
the proportion of UK produced food which is exported, is published in the Agriculture
in the UK annual reports on the Defra website:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/agriculture-in-the-united-kingdom"

</p><p>The figures above are not a measure of ‘self-sufficiency’. The more commonly
used ‘production to supply ratio’ which also contains food produced here and then
exported is shown below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>2007</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2008</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2009</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>All
