The United Kingdom's wheat area for this year's harvest is estimated to be 1% higher than the previous season at 1.807 million hectares, according to a planting survey conducted by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).
The AHDB said the rise was partly at the expense of spring barley which saw a 12% decline to 656,000 hectares, the lowest level in the United Kingdom since 2014.
Oats area also fell, dropping 8% to 183,000 hectares.
There were also year-on-year increases for rapeseed (up 9% at 336,000 hectares) and winter barley (up 10% at 447,000 hectares), the survey showed.
