The sector, which plays an important role in feeding the nation, felt the immediate impact of the pandemic with the closure of the food service and hospitality sectors.


The Welsh dairy support scheme, developed by working with the industry, has been designed to support dairy producers to maintain production capacity during this challenging period.


The scheme application window will be open until 14 August 2020\.


Through the fund, eligible dairy farmers will need to demonstrate they have suffered a reduction of 25% or more in the average price paid for their milk in April and subsequently May, when compared to February 2020\. Eligible farmers will be entitled to up to £10,000, to cover around 70% of their lost income to help them to continue to meet fixed costs and sustain production capacity without impacts on animal welfare and the environment.


Eligible farmers will need to provide their Milk Statement covering February, April and May 2020 as supporting documentation. The mid\-June application opening period will enable eligible farmers to gather all their statements ready to support their application. Online guidance will be available to support this process.


Provided all of the necessary documentation has been submitted and validated, successful applications can expect payment within 10 days.


The Minister said:



> Our Welsh dairy support scheme is there to support the hardest hit by market conditions resulting from this pandemic and ensure they can continue to operate without impacting on their high standards of animal welfare and environmental protection.
> 
> 
> I would encourage this core group of dairy farmers to apply for this one off payment through RPW Online to help offset some of financial impacts they have experienced.  
> 
> 
> I would also like to thank industry representatives on the Dairy Focus Group for their contributions in helping us develop the scheme. We will continue to work with the sector during these challenging times, so together we can ensure a resilient future for our Welsh dairy industry.


The opening of the scheme follows a series of announcements aimed at supporting the sector during these challenging times, including:


* A new consumer campaign, led by AHDB, to increase consumer demand for milk by 3%
* The temporary relaxation of competition laws to enable greater collaboration so the sector, including dairy farmers and processors, can work closer to solve the differences between supply and demand
* Opening of the EU Public intervention and private storage aid for skimmed milk, butter and cheese.

Bu i’r sector, sy’n chwarae rhan bwysig yn bwydo’r genedl, deimlo effaith y pandemig ar unwaith, wrth i’r sectorau gwasanaethau bwyd a lletygarwch gau.


Mae’r cynllun i gefnogi’r diwydiant llaeth yng Nghymru, wedi’i ddatblygu drwy gydweithio â’r diwydiant, wedi ei gynllunio i gefnogi cynhyrchwyr llaeth i gynnal eu capasiti cynhyrchu yn ystod y cyfnod heriol hwn.


Bydd y cyfnod y gellir gwneud cais am y cynllun ar agor tan 14 Awst 2020\.  


Trwy’r gronfa, bydd angen i ffermwyr llaeth cymwys ddangos eu bod wedi dioddef gostyngiad o 25% neu fwy yn y pris a dalwyd ar gyfartaledd am eu llaeth ym mis Ebrill ac yn dilyn hynny ym mis Mai, o gymharu â mis Chwefror 2020\. Bydd gan ffermwyr cymwys hawl i hyd at £10,000, i gynnwys oddeutu 70% o’r incwm a gollwyd ganddynt i helpu iddynt barhau i allu talu costau sefydlog a chynnal eu capasiti cynhyrchu heb iddo gael effaith ar les anifeiliaid a’r amgylchedd.


Bydd angen i ffermwyr cymwys ddarparu eu Datganiad Llaeth ar gyfer mis Chwefror, Ebrill a Mai 2020 fel dogfennau atodol Bydd y cyfnod agor ar gyfer ceisiadau ar ganol mis Mehefin yn galluogi ffermwyr cymwys i gasglu eu datganiadau yn barod i gefnogi eu cais. Bydd canllawiau ar\-lein ar gael i gefnogi’r broses hon.


Ar yr amod bod yr holl ddogfennau angenrheidiol wedi’u cyflwyno a’u dilysu, gallai ceisiadau llwyddiannus ddisgwyl taliad o fewn 10 niwrnod.


Meddai’r Gweinidog:



> Mae ein cynllun i gefnogi’r diwydiant llaeth yno i gefnogi’r rhai sydd wedi dioddef fwyaf oherwydd amodau’r farchnad o ganlyniad i’r pandemig hwn, ac i sicrhau y gallant barhau i weithredu heb iddo gael effaith ar eu safonau uchel o ran lles anifeiliaid a gwarchod yr amgylchedd.
> 
> 
> Hoffwn annog y grŵp craidd hwn o ffermwyr llaeth i wneud cais am y taliad unigryw hwn drwy RPW Ar\-lein i helpu i wneud yn iawn am rai o’r effeithiau ariannol y maent wedi’u gweld.
> 
> 
> Hoffwn hefyd ddiolch i gynrychiolwyr y diwydiant ar y Grŵp Ffocws Llaeth am eu cyfraniadau wrth helpu inni ddatblygu’r cynllun. Byddwn yn parhau i gydweithio â’r sector yn ystod y cyfnod heriol hwn, felly gyda’n gilydd gallwn sicrhau dyfodol cadarn i’n diwydiant llaeth yng Nghymru.


Mae agor y cynllun yn dilyn cyfres o gyhoeddiadau sydd wedi’u hanelu at gefnogi’r sector yn ystod y cyfnod heriol hwn, gan gynnwys:


* Ymgyrch newydd i ddefnyddwyr, o dan arweiniad AHDB, i gynyddu y galw am laeth gan ddefnyddwyr 3%
* Llacio y cyfreithiau cystadlu dros dro i alluogi mwy o gydweithio fel y gall y sector, gan gynnwys ffermwyr a phroseswyr llaeth, gydweithio’n agosach i ddatrys y gwahaniaethau rhwng y cyflenwad a’r galw
* Agor Ymyrraeth Gyhoeddus yr UE a chymorth gyda storio preifat ar gyfer llaeth sgim, menyn a chaws
