The migrant crisis has led to long queues for lorries attempting to cross into France
The Scottish government is holding talks with exporters in an effort to prevent them losing out as a result of disruption at the Channel Tunnel in Calais.
Cross-channel services between the UK and France have been interrupted in recent days as hundreds of migrants continued attempts to reach the UK.
Some Scottish firms who sell in Europe said they had been severely impacted.
Seafood industry figures have said jobs could go if the disruption continued.
Scottish Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead is meeting exporters to see if there are any other ways they can get their products to customers on the continent.
'No easy option'
Mr Lochhead said that industry's "preferred option was to sort out what is happening at Calais", adding that "of course we rely on the UK government and the French authorities to do that".
He continued: "We are going to look at all the options with the industry, that's part of our discussions today.
"There is no easy option but we will do what we can because we want to leave no stone unturned to try to minimise the cost and impact on Scottish sectors."
Mr Lochhead said the Scottish seafood sector had been particularly affected, adding: "That's a sector that relies on the markets in the continent and they have to access these markets through Calais and the Channel Tunnel and the ferry terminals, and it's a product that's got to reach customers in a fresh condition and on time."
Cross-channel services have been hit by migrants' attempts to reach the UK
Among those concerned at the developments in Calais are the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), who have written to the UK government's Scottish Secretary, David Mundell, expressing fears of a "knock-on impact" on Scottish suppliers and local economies.
Mr Mundell said he "fully understood and sympathised with" the problems facing Scottish exporters and hauliers as a result of the situation in Calais.
He also said the UK government was "determined to do everything it could" to bring the disruption to an end, in co-operation with the French authorities.
In a statement, he said: "We have invested £12m in security in Calais and other ports since September.
"We have also upgraded the detection technology there and increased the amount of searching with dogs that can be done.
"In addition, the Home Secretary announced this week £7m for new fencing at the Eurotunnel site at Coquelles, with work due to finish this week.
"We will continue to work with the French to put in place additional security measures and investment where it is needed, and to tackle the problem at its root, by cracking down on the organised crime gangs smuggling people into Europe, returning illegal migrants, and working with source and transit countries to stop people making this perilous journey in the first place."
The UK government said ministers and officials were talking to their counterparts in the Scottish government to keep them fully aware of the latest developments.
