<p> </p><p>Defra and UKTI with industry are working together to increase exports in
the agri-food sector. We launched a refreshed Exports Action Plan last October. It
commits us to deliver £500m of value to the UK economy by supporting 1,000 companies
by October 2015. Food and drink exports in 2013 reached £18.9bn, against £18.2bn in
2012, and are now 50% higher than 10 years ago. UKTI has established a dedicated team
with civil servants and industry experts to improve the value and volume of inward
investment and exports in agricultural technology. This team is working with UKTI
posts overseas to help UK based agri-technology companies succeed in international
markets.</p><p> </p>
