FOOD and drink exports from Scotland would be valued at more than £7billion by 2017, if new targets are met, the industry body has said.
Scotland Food and Drink plans to grow the value of the industry's exports after targets set three years ago were achieved ahead of schedule.
The new targets were unveiled during Scottish Food and Drink fortnight.
Markets such as the Middle East and China are growing particularly strongly and Scotland Food and Drink, working with Scottish Development International, is building a network of representatives abroad.
