Renfrewshire North and West MSP Natalie Don is encouraging local food and drink producers to apply for a funding boost.

The Scottish Government's Regional Food Fund has made £100,000 available for businesses and groups who are undertaking projects to promote regional products and open new markets. 

The fund has so far supported a variety of projects across Scotland and aims to give local businesses, producers, and community groups across the constituency the opportunity to showcase the best food and drink products in their region.

Natalie Don, of the SNP, said: "This fund is an excellent opportunity for producers, businesses, and community groups across Renfrewshire North and West to get the support they need to promote their fantastic local products. 

"Scotland's food and drink sector is a multi-billion-pound industry – and this fund ensures that local producers get the opportunity to fully take advantage of national supply chains and promote their products across the country. 

"I strongly encourage any local producers in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde to apply for this fund before the November 24 deadline – the desire for local produce is strong and this support helps make it a reality."
