Tesco has increased volume of Scotch beef by 23 percent over the last 12 months
In addition, Tesco has also announced it will move to 100% Scottish-sourced fresh salmon in its Scottish stores. This builds on the 44% volume growth in its Finest Scottish Salmon range across both its Fresh and Smoked ranges in 2024.
The changes highlight Tesco’s ongoing support for Scottish farmers, suppliers and producers, and its dedication to promoting high-quality beef production.
Tesco currently operates sustainable farming groups across a number of supply chains, including a Sustainable Beef Group made up of more than 800 farmers, including 59 Scottish farmers, supplying Tesco Finest beef across the UK.
The groups offer members fair and transparent pricing structures, allowing farmers to plan and invest for the future. They also convene industry representatives; share knowledge between farmers, suppliers and Tesco colleagues; and trial innovations that can help reduce on-farm emissions and protect biodiversity.
Tesco’s commitment to Scottish agriculture extends beyond sourcing from local farmers, with nearly 200 local suppliers ranging products with the retailer, and nearly 50,000 people either directly or indirectly employed by Tesco across the country.
Richard Wood, Director of Meat, Fish, Poultry and Eggs at Tesco said: “We’re proud to support Scottish agriculture and are committed to continuing to build long-term relationships with our farmers and suppliers, many of the whom are the backbone of Scotland’s rural communities.
“Scottish produce is recognised as some of the highest quality food found anywhere in the world, and we already stock a significant range of quality Scottish produce. We’re now delighted to announce we’ll be able to offer 100% Scotch beef and salmon to customers shopping in our Scottish stores in Spring 2026. Through collaboration with our supplier partners, we are able to ensure that our products are the highest quality for our customers, benefiting both farmers and suppliers, and the Scottish economy.”
Tesco presented at the Royal Highland Show again this year, where visitors to the showground had the opportunity to explore and sample a selection of Tesco products, all sourced from local Scottish farmers and suppliers, presenting the best food and drink that Scotland has to offer.
