Cornwall Taste of the West provides a free market information service for food and drink businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The service is run by our Market Intelligence Manager, Ruth Huxley, who has information on market sizes, trends and potential at her fingertips.

We are able to source market reports and information that smaller businesses are often unable to afford for themselves. Ruth may be able to save you time, effort and money in helping to assess your existing business, or the scope for new products or projects you might be considering. This service is currently free to food and drink producers in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

To contact Ruth, call 01872 865101 or email ruth@chapel-view-farm.co.uk

Ruth also runs a research programme, designed to tell us as much as possible about the food and drink industry in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Click on the links below for electronic copies of reports. If you would like hard copies of any of these reports, please contact Ruth. There may be a charge for hard copies if you are outside Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
