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 a wide range of affordable and nutritious food for all while boosting productivity, and driving investment and trade.
We need to ensure Scotland has an evidence-based regulatory environment that supports investment and growth, that businesses have the people and skills they need, and that our industry is supported on its journey to net zero.
In this document we set out our priorities for the next Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament to work with us to 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.
