India is a priority market for DIT's Food and Drink sector team which works closely with DEFRA, UK regional colleagues (including Devolved Administrations), dedicated overseas staff in India, UK Export Finance and trade policy officials. This collaborative export promotion work helps UK companies enter and grow sustainably in the market.
