Producers
Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight highlights the wealth of
produce on offer to consumers and encourages the food industry -
from restaurants to retailers and caterers - to source and champion
quality Scottish produce in order to raise awareness of and support
the people who produce our food and drink.
The aim of the Fortnight is to encourage people to discover, buy
and enjoy the food and drink produced on their doorstep, building
Scotland's reputation for excellent quality produce. Sales of
Scottish brands have risen 22% since 2007 and we aim to support
continual growth. In addition, recent research shows that named
ingredients of local provenance command a premium with
consumers.
Downloadable promotional material is available from the Materials section of this
website. It includes posters of various designs in A3 and A4
format, shelf barkers and stickers. The logo is also available for
use by request. To register an event, for more information or to
discuss your involvement, contact sophie.fraser@scotlandfoodanddrink.org.
There are countless ways to support the Fortnight. Suggestions
include:
- Create your own market stall/temporary farm shop to promote
your produce
- Provide produce for local chefs and restaurants for cookery
demonstrations
- Contact local retailers offering your produce for their use
during the Fortnight
