The Department for Enterprise’s Business Agency will support Manx food and drink exporters at the International Food Event (IFE) at the ExCel Centre in London in 2025.
This year, the show generated over £600,000 in orders and dozens of promising sales leads for the participating Manx businesses.
Isle of Man Creamery, The Fynoderee Distillery, Outlier Distilling Company, and Okell’s Brewery exhibited and showcased Manx produce at the event earlier this year.
Manx Food and Drink
Business Isle of Man, through the Food and Drink Export Development Group, jointly funded the cost of exhibiting to enable Manx businesses to capitalise on the opportunities presented by the event, with the ultimate aim of increasing exports of their products into new markets.
Each year the Island exports over 450 tonnes of cheese and seafood to the value of £7-8 million.
Business Isle of Man is working with the Department for Environment, Food and Agriculture to increase the value of local produce sold in the Isle of Man.
In support of this goal, a ‘Meet Your Producer’ event will be held at the Market Hall in Douglas on September 23.
Businesses wishing to attend the Meet the Producer event can get in touch at contact-business@gov.im.
Food & drink producers looking to exhibit are encouraged to reach out to food@gov.im for details.
