Export

The next step in your growth ambitions

Why think about exporting?

Because it’s a proven way to grow your business and manage exposure to markets. Growing exports is a major part of our 2030 ambitions for Scotland’s food and drink sector, and we have a strategy to make that happen. We’d love you to join Scotland’s export drive.

Our support

Whether you’re looking to export for the first time or develop existing export activity, we and our partners have a package of support:

  • insights about opportunities abroad and how to target them
  • new connections and contacts
  • export development programmes to help with strategy and logistics
  • support with accreditation, such as BRC

Our programme is valuable for international buyers too – an effective way to meet great producers and make the most of Scottish food and drink.
