Executive director Karen Carlyle said: "The quality, diversity and range of speciality produce made in Yorkshire rivals that of any other county in Great Britain and competes on an international level - evidenced by the 19 gold medals at the Great Taste Awards, the Oscars of the speciality food industry."
Regional Food Group Members are given the opportunity to exhibit at 24 consumer shows and five trade shows under the branding Deliciouslyorkshire.
"Local products often come from very small producers, so the Regional Food Group is a key player in forging relationships with the big multiples and independent grocers that are risk-free," said Ms Carlyle.
