Food & Drink

The UK food and drink industry is our largest manufacturing sector and accounts for 15% of all UK manufacturing GVA.

The sector employs 400,000 workers domestically, which is 15% of manufacturing workforce and exports over £12 billion of food and non-alcoholic drink products a year, of which over 75% go to the EU. UK food and drink businesses invested over £1 billion in R&D in 2011 which resulted in over 8,500 new products.
