Despite the impact of Covid-19 on international trade, a three-year food export programme has succeeded in its goal of helping 24 Northern Ireland based food producers expand their global reach.
Running since 2017, the Atlantic Food Export programme culminated in a Virtual Food Expo event November, which brought together food producers, importers, agencies and policymakers.
Delivered through a series of presentations and interactive sessions, the online event provided a final platform to enable smaller, quality-focused Northern Ireland food and drinks producers reach international markets using collaborative export models.
Overcoming barriers
Overall, the purpose of the Atlantic Food Export programme was to help small food producers co-operate to overcome the barriers that they face in selling to other parts of Europe.
