As part of its annual Celebration of Welsh Farming Week campaign, NFU Cymru has held a Powys stakeholder event in the heart of the county on the Royal Welsh Showground. 

The event saw NFU Cymru bring together partners and organisations from across Wales to discuss opportunities to work together locally for the benefit of Welsh agriculture.

Opening the networking event, Rob Powell said: “Every farming business supports a significant number of wider businesses. The reliance on a functioning, viable farming sector is vital to many families, businesses, communities and organisations in a rural county such as Powys.

“Our ability as a nation to feed itself is of growing importance in a world which is increasingly unstable as conflict rages in many parts of the globe, supply chains are increasingly stressed and our climate changes. Welsh farmers produce sustainable food for the future and we’re here to do that. We produce safe, high-quality food while looking after and enhancing after the environment.”

NFU Cymru is a leading agricultural organisation that represents and champions all farmers and growers in Wales. They promote and protect the interests of their members by working with and influencing government, the supply chain and consumers in order to secure a stable and sustainable future for Welsh agriculture and to get the best possible deal for their members.
