I was fortunate enough this week to take a guided tour around the @welshgovernment.bsky.social ‘s facility in the Royal Welsh Show that facilitates meetings between Welsh food producers and major supermarkets and distributors.
Every year orders worth £Ms are secured here.
@plaidcymru.bsky.social

The Royal Welsh Show is where the producers and buyers come together.
Tesco host an annual event with a pint and a pie for all their Welsh suppliers.

Welsh farmers need a long term funding plan.
Mae angen cynllun ariannu tymor hir ar ffermwyr Cymru.

The Welsh Government knows it won’t meet its 20,000 social homes target – so why won’t it just admit it?

Mae angen i ffermwyr gael sefydlogrwydd hir dymor a throsglwyddiad teg i mewn i'r SFS.

Mae Plaid Cymru wedi ymrwymo i ariannu aml-flynyddol os mewn llywodraeth i roi'r sicrwydd sydd ei angen ar y sector, i helpu iddo ffynnu a thyfu. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌾

Farmers need long-term stability and fair transition into the SFS.

Plaid Cymru have commited to multi-annual funding if in government to give the sector the security it needs, to help it thrive and grow. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌾

A 40% cut to BPS funding next year is too big a cliff edge. Why change the original 5 year transition period? 😡
@plaidcymru.bsky.social @farmersguardian.bsky.social @farmersweeklyuk.bsky.social
