Leading figures from across the food and drink sector have formed a new partnership with government – the Food and Drink Sector Council - to boost productivity and make the industry more resilient, sustainable and competitive.
During the first meeting on 29 January 2018 the Council agreed priorities for the next 12 months, including a focus on boosting skills, agricultural productivity, improving the nation’s nutrition and building on emerging proposals to establish a sector deal. The Council will set up export working groups to develop recommendations for industry and government on each of its priorities.
