Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary assess the impact of the Welsh agricultural budget being frozen since 2014?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Prior to 2020 agricultural funding was provided through the EU Common Agricultural Policy programmes.
Welsh Ministers, with the Senedd’s approval, will decide how to allocate the Welsh Government’s budget to reflect our national priorities in Wales, including our commitment to invest in farm funding, to achieve our shared ambitions for sustainable food security and securing critical carbon and environmental objectives.
