Make your views heard on the future of the Welsh red meat sector.
HCC’s strategic purpose and priorities, underpinned by the Red Meat Industry (Wales) Measure 2010, is established from its ‘vision’ document. This is an important document that sets the foundations to build the future of the industry and acts as a blueprint for HCC to support and unite all elements of the sector and supply chain.
HCC is currently seeking industry views on the future of the red meat industry in Wales. This will support the development of a future Red Meat Industry Vision for Wales, 2026-30.
The current vision developed with the industry, ‘Red Meat Vision for Wales’, runs to the end of this Senedd term.
HCC now invites organisations and individuals, from across the red meat industry in Wales to participate in this call for industry views which will assess the future opportunities and challenges for the sector. Your input will be vital to ensure that HCC is fully informed of these complex challenges and opportunities.
