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:
Island's youngest ever MHK says he has 'a lot to prove'
"Clearly I'm a candidate" for chief minister - Chris Thomas
Callister to have 'conversations' about chief minister role
"We need a new atmosphere in Tynwald", says newly-elected Garff MHK
