Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether her Department is taking steps to (a) encourage investment to help develop the UK's capacity to manufacture advanced agrochemicals at scale and (b) help support agrochemical exports.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) promotes the UK advanced agrochemical investment offer globally, whilst supporting existing investors to succeed and expand in the UK. DBT helps advanced agrochemical businesses to grow their business overseas by providing guidance and support, removing barriers and helping them to secure benefits generated by new free trade agreements. This includes Syngenta for example, who operate a factory in the Linlithgow and East Falkirk constituency.
