STEVENSON MEETS WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF SCOTTISH VENISON INDUSTRY

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has met with representatives from across Scotland’s venison industry in both the public and private sector during a reception held by the Scottish Venison Working Group.

A range of organisations including the Association of Deer Management Groups, British Deer Farmers Association, Cairngorms National Park Authority, Deer Commission for Scotland, Forestry Commission Scotland, Scottish Gamekeepers Association and Scottish Quality Wild Venison were present at the event and were able to discuss the many challenges and opportunities that both the wild and farmed deer sectors are facing.

Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:

“Scotland’s venison sector is an important part of our rural economy, with wild deer generating more than £70 million per year for the Scottish economy through both tourism and as a high quality food source.

“I was delighted to be able to learn more about the issues affecting the industry and the opportunities that are available to it. I was also delighted to be able to sample a range of wonderful venison dishes during the course of the event.

“I am sure that residents of Banff & Buchan and beyond will continue to support Scotland’s venison industry by enjoying this delicacy, and that everyone involved in the sector can look forward to a bright future.”
