FDF response to the plans announced today by the Prime Minister to boost productivity and grow food and farming exports.
Responding to Prime Minister's announcement to boost productivity and grow food and farming exports by more than £7 billion, Angela Coleshill, Director of Competitiveness at the Food and Drink Federation, said: “The food and drink manufacturing sector is in a prime position to help Government boost productivity and grow exports. We have continuously outperformed on exports which have almost doubled in value in our sector in the last decade – a testament to British quality brands and innovative products. We are ambitious to grow further and welcome the Prime Minister's commitment to British food producers. Any additional support to enable small and medium-sized food companies bring their products to new markets is particularly welcome and we will continue to work with the Government to drive innovation and seize the exports opportunity.“
