Commenting on the publication of the NFU\u2019s \u2018Welsh Suckler Beef Production\u2019 a HCC spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

HCC welcomes NFU\u2019s \u2018Welsh Suckler Beef Production\u2019 report. As HCC recently outlined to the Senedd ETRA Food Processing inquiry, declining livestock numbers, suckler cattle in particular, remain a significant concern for the whole industry. Coordinated, long\u2011term action is urgently needed, including the report\u2019s call for a targeted support programme for the suckler herd. HCC will continue working with partners, including Welsh Government, to advise on this issue and support and deliver on such a programme if developed. We have previously publicly highlighted the wide remit placed on HCC relative to the limited levy funded income from livestock – cattle in particular. <\/em><\/p>\n

The recommendation for Welsh Government to match\u2011fund levy payers to support export growth is ultimately a matter for Government. However, HCC is well placed to assist should additional support be provided, and as we develop our next four\u2011year business plan under Vision 2030, we will focus our constrained budget on the most effective, high\u2011impact activities. This will mean, as we enter our next four-year business plan, more targeted priorities and a staffing model that delivers strong impact and value for money for levy payers.<\/em><\/p>\n
