Who we are
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) is the voice of the UK food and drink industry, the largest manufacturing sector in the country.
Our sector directly employs more than 400,000 people, and as many as 1.2 million
in
ancillary services; it accounts for 18.3% of the UK's total manufacturing
sector
by value; and it is an invaluable partner to British agriculture, buying two
thirds of what farmers produce.
Our membership comprises manufacturers of all
sizes
as well as trade associations dealing with specific sectors of the industry.
We help our members operate in an appropriately regulated marketplace to
maximise their
competitiveness.
We communicate our industry's values and concerns to Government,
regulators, consumers and the media. We also work in partnership with key
players in the food chain to ensure our food is safe and that consumers can
have trust in it.
