Welsh food and drink continues to thrive as latest figures show the sector’s supply chain turnover increased to £23 billion in 2021, Rural Affairs Minister Lesley Griffiths has said.
This represents a growth of 2.9% from the £22.4bn in 2020.
The food and drink manufacturing sector in Wales, producing diverse products, experienced very strong growth in 2021 with turnover increasing by 10.2% from £4.9bn to £5.4bn.
Today’s announcement (17 October 2022) follows the news earlier this year that Welsh food and drink exports hit a record high in 2021 reaching £640m.
The Welsh Government continues to help businesses in the sector through multiple support schemes providing market insight and intelligence, investment, technical support, export support and strong emphasis on business networking.
