FDF Scotland
FDF Scotland supports the food and drink manufacturing industry in Scotland
Established in 1999 to ensure our members’ views are heard by the Scottish Parliament and Government, other stakeholders and the media.
Over that time, we have successfully contributed to policy making and legislative development, championing our members’ views – large and small – on issues critical their businesses - to create an environment for the industry to thrive.
Growing Scottish food and drink manufacturing
The food and drink manufacturing industry plays a vital role in maintaining a thriving food system here in Scotland, providing high-quality, affordable food while boosting productivity, and driving investment and trade.
With food and drink businesses under increasing pressure, we've reached a pivotal moment for the Scottish Government to collaborate with the other UK nations to minimise costs and complexity for businesses and ensure we can continue to achieve growth.
In this document we set out our priorities for the Scottish government and Scottish parliament to remove roadblocks to growth and support the future success of Scotland’s largest manufacturing sector.
Partnership working is key to the future success of the Scottish food and drink industry
FDF Scotland is a member of the Scotland Food & Drink Partnership – a unique collaboration between industry organisations from across the food supply chain, Scottish Government and its agencies.
We are proud to have been involved in the development of the partnership's new ambitious 10-year strategy: ‘Sustaining Scotland. Supplying the world'.
We will be an integral part of its delivery. Our ambition is to make Scotland one of the best places to own, operate, and work for a food and drink business.
