Would be interesting to see some proper figures on profitability.
A quick trawl of the net shows 37 people killed on UK farms in 2018/19. In the same period 1 person was killed in Forestry and 1 in Deep Sea Fishing.
Very hard to find accurate figures but Google suggests return on capital employed is actually higher in Farming than Fishing.
Profit Margin per employee is higher in Ag than Forestry?
12,000 working in Fishing (1 death per 12,000)
36,000 working in Forestry (0.33 deaths per 12,000)
306,000 working in Ag (1.45 deaths per 12,000)
These figures make us look really bad although they are skewed. I can't find enough common data from each industry to use as a more reliable 'benchmark'.
Can anyone else find some more accurate figures?
