It is a combined figure — the source does not disaggregate employment between the two, so it must not be quoted for one sector alone. | 2024 | Hong Kong Yearbook 2024, Chapter 18: Environment and Ecology (agriculture and fisheries) |
| Gross value of crop production 農作物生產總值 | about HK$385 million (2024) 約 3.85 億元（2024 年） Hong Kong Yearbook 2024, Chapter 18: crop production was worth about HK$385 million in 2024; pigs about HK$279 million and poultry (including eggs) about HK$264 million.

These are separate ratios and must not be added into a single “self-sufficiency” figure. | 2024 | Hong Kong Yearbook 2024, Chapter 18: Environment and Ecology (agriculture and fisheries) |
