Food and Drink Industry Export Survey

About your business

Shape UK Food & Drink Export Support

We are seeking input from businesses to inform the development of a new long-term government-industry action plan to grow our industry’s exports. This will help to shape the provision of essential export support at a time when the processes and procedures faced by UK businesses are changing and the need for specialist support services has never been greater.

It is essential that we hear from businesses operating across all parts of the UK’s farm-to-fork food and drink supply chain and we would welcome your support in completing this survey.

The survey is open until 16 April and should take you no longer than 15 minutes to complete. You will have the opportunity to enter a prize draw for tickets to the FDF Convention on 10 December 2020.

All responses remain confidential and aggregated results will feature in a report outlining identified priorities that we will share with you.

Your support with this essential research would be most welcome.

If you have any questions please contact tarmini.mootoosamy@fdf.org.uk.

Many thanks,

Sarah Malone
Economic Research and Exports Policy Manager
