Food: Exports
- Question
-
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.
- Answer
-
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.
