Govt talks to more than 100 companies
More than a hundred local food and drink companies have held talks with government officials this year.
Food Business Development Manager Andrew Lees says meetings have taken place with a whole range of businesses about how best to expand.
The 2016 Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival saw record numbers through its gates and the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is exploring how to improve for next year.
Mr Lees says communication is vital to success:
