Importance of the Scottish Wholesale Sector

Lodged by Gordon MacDonald Members' Business Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises what it considers to be the vital importance of the Scottish wholesale sector; understands that it contributes over £4.3 billion in gross value added (GVA) to the Scottish economy, providing over 35,000 businesses and consumers, including in the Edinburgh Pentlands constituency, with an extensive product range consisting of tens of thousands, with potentially the largest wholesale choice and selection of food and drink of any European country, and supporting over 6,000 local jobs, and welcomes the support from 30 wholesale local food champions that have supported 130 local producers, resulting, it understands, in 30% of wholesalers' turnover coming from Scottish products.
