Context
Cornwall's food and drink sector has been severely impacted by the pandemic.
Question
Cornwall is proud to produce some of the finest and most sought-after food and drink, but the sector has been hit hard as a result of the pandemic. Will the Minister lay out how food producers in Cornwall, and indeed around the country, will benefit from the agri-food bounce-back package that he mentioned?
Answer from Graham Stuart (The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Trade Policy)
The bounce-back package, launched in June, facilitates additional access for small businesses' products to UK Export Finance. It launches a suite of export masterclasses and webinars to overcome some of the lack of understanding of opportunities in foreign markets and challenges faced in entering them. My Department is working through our international trade adviser network to support local Cornish food and drink companies to access virtual meet-the-buyer events and upcoming United Kingdom agricultural policy webinars.
