Director CLA Cymru, Victoria Bond says, “We call on the Welsh Government to continue to work closely with us throughout the Consultation period to improve the scheme and ensure maximum uptake when it is launched in 2025. Equally, we call on the Government to build confidence in the industry during the Consultation period and in the period of transition to the new scheme, by ensuring budgetary certainty for the sector.”

Victoria adds, “We will be drawing on our expertise and diverse experience and entrepreneurship within our membership, as we continue to lobby the Welsh Government to develop the best possible result for Welsh farming – also critical for the wider rural economy.”
