Food & Drink Sector

Food and Drink is a £5.4 billion industry in Northern Ireland and is the region’s largest manufacturer. Our success is down to our pure, lush countryside, and farmers and producers who are dedicated to traceability and passionate about quality.

It’s a progressive industry based on family farms and fishing businesses, as well as award-winning enterprising food and drink producers, focused on original products.

Northern Ireland boasts high-quality raw ingredients, state-of-the-art processing facilities and a world-class food security record which major retailers demand. Our award-winning food and drink comes with full traceability from farm to fork.

We’re passionate about our food and want to share that passion with you!
