Summary

The food sector is one of the priority sectors across the Atlantic Area, as one of the region’s largest employers and exporters. It is a growing sector worldwide, with a strong innovation potential (quality and safe products, resource and technical efficiency), and has a significant influence in preserving the natural environment and enhancing the Atlantic rural economies. However, most of this food sector is composed of family owned SMEs producing for local markets that face special difficulties in accessing foreign markets, as well as mass distribution networks.
The Atlantic Food Export project aims to help food sector SMEs from the Atlantic regions to develop innovative strategies and improve their competitiveness in international markets.
With the aim of addressing the internationalisation of SMEs and increasing trade and exports in one of the strategic sectors within the Atlantic Area, the food sector, this project will contribute to and support the:
(i) Improvement of the competitiveness and export capacities of food sector SMEs from the partner regions and the whole Atlantic Area;
(ii) Promotion of business cooperation through knowledge sharing and collaboration;
(iii) Creation of a business support network operating across the Atlantic Area to address the issues of scale and capacity;
(iv) and of course, increase of exports of agri-food products.
