Guide Price £835,000

The agricultural sector on the Isle of Man is extensive and progressive, with arable, beef, sheep, dairying, vegetables and poultry all key enterprises. Government support for the agricultural sector is available through the Agricultural Development Scheme, administered by the Department for the Environment, Food and Agriculture and includes a range of subsidies, capital grants and conservation schemes.

The Island has its own abattoir and livestock are also exported to slaughter and for breeding, with exports enhanced by the Island’s low animal disease status.
