Description
The UK food and drink sector saw an increase of over 10% in sales last year with the key markets being the EU, USA and China.
Trade bodies like the Food and Drink Exporters Association (FDEA) provide exporters access to over 70,000 members worldwide, helping businesses leverage their collective experience, knowledge, and networks to successfully navigate foreign markets. That's why creating strategic partnerships in the industry is often the key to exporting success.
By participating in international trade fairs and industry-specific forums, you can increase your chances of entering new markets by gaining real-time insights and access to key buyers and distributors. Don't miss out on hearing on which events and forums are key for food and drink producers to know about.
There will be time for a Q&A session, so bring along your burning questions on how to make the right connections in the food and drink sector which can help you supercharge the global growth of your business.
