Beer Festival boosting sector's image says MHK
Garff MHK Martyn Perkins says the Isle of Man is going 'from strength to strength' in the homegrown food and drink sector.
Government's Food Matters strategy was launched in 2015, and aims to grow the value of the sector by £50 million in ten years' time.
Thousands are expected to attend the sixth Isle of Man Beer and Cider Festival at the Villa Marina in Douglas this weekend.
Many of them have traveled over to the Island specifically for the event.
Mr Perkins, who is also a member of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, was there - he told Manx Radio the word is spreading about Island produce:
Cost of off-Island healthcare treatment almost £2m higher than forecast over five-month period
Options for Tramway Terrace expected in the next eight weeks

AI workshop findings to shape forthcoming national strategy
