Industry Strategy
Scotland’s food and drink industry strategy sets out a clear mission of ambitious responsible growth and shapes the activities we deliver to support businesses of all sizes, in all sectors and all communities across Scotland.
Sustaining Scotland, Supplying the World
A strategy for Scotland’s food and drink industry
This strategy lays the foundations for sustainable growth and increased demand from 2026–2030.
Our ambition is for Scotland to be the best place in the world to own, operate and work for a food and drink business, and to be a global leader in sustainable production and responsible growth, where resilient businesses across the supply chain can thrive.
'Sustaining Scotland, Supplying the World' is a collaborative strategy shaped by the expertise of the Scotland Food & Drink Partnership, Scottish Government and more than 150 businesses. It sets out our mission of Ambitious, Responsible Growth and is structured as four objective-focussed programmes.
"Scotland’s food and drink industry is a cornerstone of our economy and a source of great national pride. It is our largest manufacturing industry, our largest export sector, and a vital source of employment and economic activity across the country, especially in our rural communities."
