Most programmes financed would be aimed at countries and regions outside the EU, such as China, southeast Asia, Japan, the Middle East and America though there would still be some budget for promotions inside the EU.<\/p>\n

EU Farming Commissioner Phil Hogan has been drumming up interest for EU agricultural products in Asia, visiting Vietnam and Indonesia recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was struck by the interest being shown by importers and consumers in this part of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe further expansion of our promotion programmes next year is particularly important as it will help to stimulate jobs and growth in the agri-food sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Responding to questions about whether British farmers would be entitled to bid for the cash because funded promotions would continue beyond 2019, Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board exports head Peter Hardwick said \u201cWhile we cannot be certain, it is highly likely that campaigns which run on beyond the date of exit would be covered by transitional arrangements as part of the deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt present, the EU is still accepting UK applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere may be a time when this may not be possible but as things stand, our European partners remain confident of our involvement in submissions for promotion funding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Farmers in the European Union will receive \u20ac133 million in 2017 to promote their products and open up new markets \u2013 \u20ac22m more than last year.\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
