Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps her Department is taking to promote exports of British (a) beer, (b) lamb, (c) dairy products and (d) beef.

The Department for International Trade (DIT) offers a compelling programme of trade promotion activity that encourages our beer, lamb, dairy, and beef exporters to unlock international opportunities. This includes support to exhibit at global food and drink trade events through the UK Tradeshow Programme for eligible businesses. We organise business networking and sampling events, matching international buyers and sellers, enabling buyers to experience our fantastic produce and ensure more British produce is sold overseas.

Our beer, lamb, dairy, and beef exporters are also supported through DIT’s wider services including the Export Support Service, the digital GREAT.gov.uk platform, the Export Academy, UK Export Finance, and our network of domestic and overseas trade advisers.
