<p>Unfortunately we cannot provide accurate estimates of the proportion of the whole
farming population in England claiming Basic Payment Scheme (BPS). Estimates of the
entire farming population are collected using criteria which do not correspond to
those governing how BPS claimants are classified, and therefore no direct comparison
can be made.</p><p> </p><p>Over the last five years (2016-2020) the following numbers
of farms/businesses in England received a payment from the BPS:</p><p> </p><p>2016
- 85,837</p><p>2017 - 85,127</p><p>2018 - 84,020</p><p>2019 - 83,947</p><p>2020 -
83,852</p><p> </p><p>BPS is a devolved matter and the information provided relates
to England only and is for registered farms/businesses.</p>
