turnips 64,000 tonnes
peas 34,000 tonnes
strawberries 25,000 tonnes
Brussels 14,000 tonnes
raspberries 2,900 tonnes

Other vegetables such as peas, beans and turnips are also grown,
sometimes for animal feed and sometimes for human consumption.

Some farmers also grow other vegetables such as cabbages, leeks,
broccoli, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts.
