TOTAL income from farming is estimated to have increased by £96 million in 2016, after two years of decline.
The chief statistician for the Scottish Government published Total Income From Farming (TIFF) estimates for Scotland 2014-2016, which contains estimates of TIFF for 2015 and an initial estimate of 2016 TIFF.
The figures show income fell by 16 per cent in 2015 compared to the previous year, but initial estimates for 2016 suggest an increase of 15 per cent.
