Defra celebrates rising seafood exports

Minister of State for Farming, Food and the Marine Environment George Eustice said the UK exported luxury seafood such as langoustine and lobster to a record 76 countries in 2014.

The government said seafood was the latest in a long list of export successes for UK food and drink which remains the country's biggest manufacturing sector. The food chain contributes £103 billion a year to the UK economy and employs 1 in 8 people. Support Sustain's Sustainable Fish Cities campaign.
