Through a comprehensive package of export assistance, the Dairy Export Programme will assist UK agri-businesses in growing by embracing new export possibilities and utilizing international markets for their goods.
The Dairy Export Programme is funded directly by the British government and is part of a larger package of government assistance for agriculture, food, and drink. This includes a £2 million investment to expand the Department for Business and Trade’s (DBT) worldwide tradeshow and mission program, which will be conducted in collaboration with industry and the Food and Drink Export Council.
The initiative will provide a broad variety of tailored assistance to firms, including education sessions on how to increase exports, target new markets, and engage in trade promotion activities such as an inward buyer trade trip and a UK Dairy Showcase.
It will also give professional resources in key markets committed to helping dairy exports, as well as market data to assist firms in capitalizing on international prospects.
Malcolm Offord, the Minister for Exports, said: “Growing the agri, food and drink sector is key to growing our economy, and I am delighted to launch the Dairy Export Programme which will help businesses grasp exciting new opportunities around the world.”
The UK dairy business is regarded for being ambitious and inventive, ranking among the finest in the world.
The Dairy Export Programme will expand on DBT’s current strong support for the industry. Food and beverage firms will also benefit from DBT’s Export Support Service, Export Academy, UK Export Finance, and an international trade adviser network.
