Chamber and committees

Celebrating the Resilience of Scotland’s Food and Drink Sector

  • Submitted by: Mairi Gougeon, Angus North and Mearns, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 11 September 2023
  • Motion reference: S6M-10406
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 12 September 2023

That the Parliament recognises the value of Scotland’s food and drink sector and the significant contribution that it makes to the national economy, as well as to local economies and communities; welcomes the plan, published by Scotland Food and Drink, to create stability, sustainability, resilience and innovation in order to support the sector to succeed and prosper over the next 10 years; further welcomes the Scottish Government’s commitment to invest £5 million to support delivery of this plan; acknowledges the challenges caused by Brexit, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and climate change, and the need for the sector to respond and adapt, and believes that the hard Brexit negotiated by the UK Government has created serious, long-term harms, including labour shortages and new barriers to trade, especially for Scottish food and drink exporters, while driving up inflation in food and supply chain costs.
