Asked by: Edward Timpson (Conservative - Eddisbury)
Question to the Department for International Trade:
What recent steps her Department has taken to support British farmers and food producers to increase their global sales.
Answered by Graham Stuart
The UK’s farming, food and drink products are a source of pride, whether it be Scotch whisky, Welsh lamb, or other iconic products from across the country. Our new trade deals are unlocking new markets and opportunities for this important industry. Our ‘Open Doors’ campaign offers a wide range of support such as exporting masterclasses, a flagship mentoring programme and matching buyers with sellers to ensure more British produce is sold overseas.
