“I am delighted that our attendance at HOFEX 2013 has already generated such a strong interest in one of Scotland’s premium food and drink brands.
“We have seen a rapid increase in the volume and value of Scottish exports to Asia, breaking the £1 billion mark in 2011 after a 40 per cent year-on-year increase. This new partnership is a fantastic opportunity for Scotch Beef to capitalise on the growing potential in the market.”
