Food: Exports
(asked on 7th December 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much additional business has been generated for the UK food and drinks industry since the latest export drive was launched.
This question was answered on 20th December 2016
Promoting food and drink exports is a high priority for Government. Under the International Action Plan which ran from 2013, the Government supported over 4000 companies to secure more than £1bn of new exports. This helped exports for the sector to reach £18.2bn in 2015. A refreshed International Action Plan for Food and Drink was launched in October 2016 and will provide fresh impetus for the coming years.
