The food and drink industry in Scotland

Scotland employs 122,000 people in the food and drink processing sector and its associated supply chain, which generates £7.57 billion in sales.
A further £2 billion comes from agriculture, aquaculture and fishing.
Food and drink is the largest employer within Scottish manufacturing and accounts for more than a quarter of manufacturing exports.
Scottish farmers and fishermen provide more than one third of our raw materials and are major suppliers to the UK industry.
The industry exported £3.57 billion of food and drink products in 2005.
