Answer
We are supporting dairy producers, including through the Dairy Export Programme which resulted from £1m committed by the Prime Minister to boost UK dairy exports, especially amongst SMEs.
The Programme was agreed following consultations with UK dairy businesses and industry bodies. It is UK-wide and designed to unlock new opportunities for our dairy exports in growth markets around the world.
The Programme builds on existing work the department has been doing with the sector. For example, DBT recently supported a VIP cheese buyer tasting space at Anuga, the world-leading food fair in Cologne.
