The firm, a venture by Meigle-based Bruce Farms, said the first partnership is with Abu Dhabi-based supermarket chain Lulu and will see Podberry stocked on the shelves across the Middle East imminently.

The second is with UK-based distributor The Bay Tree which will list Podberry from February.

Director Geoff Bruce said the venture hopes for 'even more exciting opportunities' in 2020. PIcture: Michael McGurk.
