GRAMPIAN FOOD FORUM The food and drink industry in Grampian is an important part of the local economy and accounts for one fifth of all food and drink produced in Scotland. We have the finest ingredients on our doorstep such as water, seafood, red meat, poultry, game, berries, vegetables and oats. Grampian Food Forum is delighted to support the food marquee at the Scottish Traditional Boat Festival and would encourage visitors to sample and buy some of the local produce that is on offer. Grampian Food Forum is a partnership between the local food and drink industry and Aberdeenshire Council, Aberdeen City Council, Moray Council, Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise. It advises on the needs of the food and drink industry so that programmes and projects can be put in place, which are focused on the actual needs of the industry.
