What is a food enterprise zone?
Food Enterprise Zones (FEZs) that will unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of the countryside and food producers are to be created, the government announced today.
The new zones will free up food and farming businesses, making it simpler and easier for them to grow, and will attract new businesses. Local communities will benefit from new jobs and the opportunity to develop local produce, boosting their economies.
Food Enterprise Zones will help unlock the potential of local food and farming businesses, boosting local economies and attracting more investment.
Consumers both here and abroad want to buy Great British food. These zones will ensure we can grow more top quality produce and expand our food and farming industry, which is worth more than £100 billion a year to the UK economy and is our largest manufacturing sector, worth more than cars and aerospace combined.
Food and farming is at the heart of our long-term economic plan and vital to securing Britain’s economic future.
