Answered by
Andrew Bowie
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Department for International Trade is working closely with Defra to deliver the £1m seafood exports package launched in May 2022. The 3-year package aims to grow overseas markets and provide new export opportunities for the UK fishing industry.
The package will identify new overseas buyers for UK seafood companies, promote UK seafood at international events and increase expertise on British seafood in our Embassies overseas.
In April we delivered a UK pavilion showcasing the best of British seafood at Seafood Expo Global and we are bringing a number of inward missions of buyers to the UK later this year.
