Funding for regional food and drink projects – Scottish Government

Local food and drink projects are being encouraged to apply for funding from the Scottish Government’s Regional Food Fund.

The latest round of funding of up to £100,000 is now available for businesses and groups who wish to promote regional food products and establish new markets.

The Fund is designed to support the development of regional food and drink products across Scotland. It has supported a range of projects including The Shetland Seafood Provenance Scheme, The Bute Kitchen Retail Project and the Clyde Island Gin Passport.

Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Islands Secretary Mairi Gougeon said:

“The Regional Food Fund is an excellent opportunity for local businesses, producers and community groups to showcase the best products that their regions have to offer.

“It has already provided over £650,000 to more than 140 projects across the country and I’d encourage anyone who is interested to apply.”
