Growers in Scotland have been given £6m in support over the next two years to help improve the quality, market value and sustainability of their produce.
The Scottish government has allocated the funds as part of its extended Fruit and Vegetable Aid scheme, designed to help increase their competitiveness in the supply chain.
Co-operatives Scottish Borders Produce, East of Scotland Growers and Angus Growers will all receive a share of the funding.
The scheme was set up to enable producers to work together, use investment and facilities to upscale and gain access to the most profitable markets.
