Answer
Since 2013 my Department and Invest NI has been jointly working with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to support agri-food businesses across Northern Ireland.
In 2013 Minister Foster endorsed the recommendations in the Agri Food Strategy Board’s “Going for Growth” report and Invest NI continues to work to support the delivery of these recommendations.
In 2014/15, Invest NI offered Agri-Food businesses in East Londonderry over £0.25 million of support towards a total planned investment of £0.9 million.
