Mr. Speller

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his policy on supporting speciality regional food production for the national export market.

Mr. Curry

The services of Food From Britain are available to speciality food producers to help them to exploit the growing demand for British regional products. In particular, FFB is able to help producers to contact potential trade buyers of their products. FFB also operates on behalf of this Department the speciality food group grant scheme under which assistance is available over three years for groups employing marketing development staff.
