<p>The Department for International Trade (DIT) supports companies in Scotland and
the rest of the UK to trade globally through initiatives including the GREAT campaign,
Export Campaigns, the Tradeshow Access Programme and financial support offered by
UK Export Finance. The Department’s Export Strategy sets out how we will put in place
the right practical, promotional and financial support to help businesses to grow
sustainably by exporting. This also includes support from dedicated food and drink
teams working for Her Majesty's Trade Commissioners across Asia Pacific, Latin America
and Africa.</p><p> </p><p>DIT also supports the Government’s work to gain overseas
market access for produce from the UK. In China, we have secured market access for
seed potatoes, a huge boon to the Scottish farming industry which delivers about 70%
of the UK seed potato export volume, alongside access for beef, where UK exports are
expected to be worth £250m over 5 years.</p>
