New Board, new action

The Board will be the voice of the food and drink industry in Wales, providing direction, encouraging networking and sharing vital information. It will take shared ownership with Welsh Government of Towards Sustainable Growth: an Action Plan for the Food and Drink Industry 2014-2020, and report on its progress to Ministers, and in time may move to a position where it will be independent of government.
