Abstract: This paper uses input‐output data bases to derive estimates of industry productivity growth rates in the UK for three discrete sub‐periods. The results are then used to derive estimates of the within‐industry productivity growth contributions to the changing efficiency over time of the economic system in meeting consumers' food requirements. The resultant estimates indicate the value of extending studies of agricultural productivity growth to encompass efficiency gains in industries that are upstream and downstream of the agricultural industry.
