SOPA are working in partnership with Organic Farmers & Growers and the Soil Association Certification to gather an improved picture of UK organic export business . We want to support UK organic food and drink companies develop their sales in international markets. With this in mind we have created an export questionnaire to help us better understand current export performance, future priorities and to identify what support would be of most value in helping businesses realise overseas ambitions. Although no personal data or data linking responses to specific respondents will be shared , final survey data and results collected by Soil Association Certification will be shared with our partners and UK Gov. The deadline for completion is 30th Nov.
