There’s never been a better time to do this. As a nation, we clearly have a very healthy appetite forgood food. Across the board, the UK food and drink sector is absolutely blooming at the moment.But it’s the online food and drinks sector in particular that is seeing a dramatic growth in sales.Online grocery sales are forecast to reach an incredible £9.8 billion this year, up 13% from an
estimated £8.6 billion in 2015. The UK grocery market is predicted to grow a further 73% to reach£15 billion by 2020.
Many consumers, who increasingly have less and less time on their hands, are looking for theconvenience that online shopping can provide as well as the diversity and range of products it canoffer. As consumers grow increasingly aware of the environmental implications of importing food
from every corner of the world, they are keen to support and endorse food producers who canattach far fewer food miles to their produce. Of course, until our rather damp and chilly climate
warms up considerably, we’re not going to be see Cornish coconuts or Royal Berkshire bananas forquite some time yet. But where we do have some of the world’s very finest produce literally on ourdoorstep, it’s unnecessary to import watercress from Argentina, lamb from New Zealand or applesfrom South Africa. Think global and buy local. This approach is better for consumers, better for
producers, better for local communities and ultimately, better for the planet.
