The industry
Identified as a growth industry, the food and drink sector in Scotland employs over 350,000 people and the latest figures published by the Scottish government showed a record turnover of £14.3 billion in 2013.
While other sectors struggled during the recession, food and drink continued to see rapid economic growth. The industry set a target of a £12.5bn turnover by 2017, but it was met six years early when turnover reached £13 billion in 2011. It remains on track to meet the new target of £16.5 billion this year.
