| Local supply share of fisheries produce 本地漁產供應比例 | 19% of marine fish, 4% of freshwater fish (2025) 海產 19%、淡水魚 4%（2025 年） GovHK “Hong Kong: The Facts — Agriculture & Fisheries” (December 2025 edition): production from capture fisheries and marine fish culture was equal to about 19 per cent of local marine fish consumption, while pond-produced freshwater fish accounted for about 4 per cent of freshwater fish consumption. The two percentages cover different categories of produce and must not be added into a “local fish self-sufficiency rate”; they are also a separate set from the farm produce ratios for vegetables and live pigs. | 2025 | GovHK: Hong Kong: The Facts — Agriculture & Fisheries |
| Pig farms and poultry farms 豬場及家禽農場數目 | 43 pig farms and 29 poultry farms (2025) 豬場 43 個、家禽農場 29 個（2025 年） GovHK “Hong Kong: The Facts — Agriculture & Fisheries” (December 2025 edition): “As at 2025, there were 43 pig farms and 29 poultry farms locally.” These are licensed livestock farms and cover a different scope from the AFCD “Agriculture in Hong Kong” page’s roughly 2,500 farms in all (vegetable, orchard and other farms), so they must not be added or subtracted. The same factsheet records two licensed dairy farms, in Sha Tau Kok and Tai Po. | 2025 | GovHK: Hong Kong: The Facts — Agriculture & Fisheries |
| Local supply share of farm produce (GovHK factsheet) 本地農產供應比例（政府一站通便覽） | 2% of vegetables, 100% of live poultry, 7% of live pigs (2025) 蔬菜 2%、活家禽 100%、活豬 7%（2025 年） GovHK “Hong Kong: The Facts — Agriculture & Fisheries” (December 2025 edition) states that in 2025 local farms supplied 2 per cent of vegetables, 100 per cent of live poultry and 7 per cent of live pigs consumed locally. The AFCD “Agriculture in Hong Kong” page prints the same set as 1.7 per cent and 6.5 per cent: the two official publications round the same reference period differently and must not be mixed, added, or treated as two dates (see /calibre#farm-local-supply-share). | 2025 | GovHK: Hong Kong: The Facts — Agriculture & Fisheries |
