SCOTTISH Food & Drink Fortnight is here, with stores, suppliers, bars and restaurants across the country getting behind the national larder.
This year’s fortnight runs until 15 September and Fiona Richmond, head of regional food at organiser Scotland Food & Drink, reckons it creates a real opportunity for stores. “Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight is a fantastic opportunity for retailers, caterers and suppliers to rally around home-grown produce and showcase its quality and value to consumers.
“The industry has grown rapidly and is now worth a record £15 billion to the Scottish economy, and with buy-in from grocers, wholesalers and stockists in campaigns like Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight, we can write the next chapter in that success story,” she said.
