The event will take place on Monday, 12th March at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh.
Fiona Edgar, business growth officer with East Lothian Council, said: "It is has been well researched that restaurants can profit from purchasing good local produce.
"The produce is fresh and tastier than the majority of mass-produced goods, generally has less environmental impact through reduced carbon footprint and can provide a great point for menu differentiation."
Fresh Profit from East Lothian’s event programme will include demonstrations from well-known chefs, the opportunity for purchasers and chefs to speak directly with the producer and a chance to "taste the difference" between fresh and local and alternative products.
More information is available on the Fresh Profit from East Lothian website.
