Covid\-19 has had a sudden and massive impact on nearly all food and drink businesses and supply chains, whatever their size.


Research has shown the size and nature of the impact:


* Total sales of food and drink (all channels) falling £190m (27%);
* Purchase patterns changing hugely, with grocery sales up £38m (10\.7%) but total spend on food and drink is around 20% lower than normal due to the service sector almost closing completely.
* Shopping patterns have changed UK wide with people prioritising on\-line channels and convenience stores (up 43% and 40% respectively).


The immediate priority is to steer and support the sector through the unfolding impact of Covid\-19 so businesses and supply chain networks survive and maintain the sector’s world renowned reputation and success.


In partnership with Food and Drink Wales, a series of priority areas to support the sector have been published today, including:


* Monitoring market intelligence, data and trends to anticipate change and position the sector;
* Providing practical business advice essential to survival;
* Providing advice and support to develop online sales channels;
* Targeted investment in people and technology to build business resilience; and
* Maintaining a global trade presence via virtual engagement and at our key event, Blas Cymru in 2021\.


The actions published today will be the joint short term focus and will target support for the sector over the coming months until next summer. They will be a bridge between the current strategy, Towards Sustainable Growth which completes in 2020 and the new strategy which is currently in development.


Minister for Environment, Energy \& Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths, said:



> The food and drink industry in Wales has played a key role in keeping the nation fed during this unprecedented time, and I would like to express my thanks to all of those who have worked tirelessly to maintain supply chains.
> 
> 
> We must now look towards the future, and the actions announced today are designed to support the industry where disruption due to the pandemic has occurred and move to recovery.
> 
> 
> We must stabilise the sector as quickly as possible whilst also looking longer term to rebuild for the future.   By working together, we can ensure we maintain the success of Wales’ globally renowned food and drink sector.


Chair of the Food \& Drink Wales Industry Board, Andy Richardson, said:



> The Coronavirus crisis caught everyone by surprise when it emerged as a pandemic in early 2020\. Sadly the food and drink industry has not been immune to the effects of the crisis but this aside, our primary thoughts go out to those who have lost their lives or those who have lost family, friends and colleagues at this time.
> 
> 
> Whilst some Welsh Food and Drink businesses have flourished during the crisis, many more have and continue to be affected significantly. Our pledge to all Welsh food and drink business is to continue to fight for our industry and deliver a strategy and tactical plan which will help get Welsh food and drink back on its feet following the crisis and continue our upward trajectory of growth, employment and global influence.


‘Towards Sustainable Growth’ was published in 2014 and will complete this year. At the start of 2020 Towards Sustainable Growth had exceeded its top target for the food and farming priority sector to achieve £7 billion of sales by 2020 compared to actual sales of £7\.473 billion.

Mae COVID\-19 wedi cael effaith sydyn ac enfawr ar bob busnes a chadwyn gyflenwi yn y sector bwyd a diod, ni waeth beth yw eu maint.


Mae ymchwil wedi dangos maint a natur yr effaith:


* Mae cyfanswm gwerthiannau bwyd a diod (pob sianel) wedi gostwng £190 miliwn (27%);
* Mae patrymau prynu wedi newid yn sylweddol, gyda gwerthiannau nwyddau groser yn codi £38 miliwn (10\.7%), ond mae cyfanswm y gwariant ar fwyd a diod tuag 20% yn is nag arfer, o ganlyniad i’r sector gwasanaethu’n cau yn gyfan gwbl bron,
* Mae patrymau siopa wedi newid ledled y DU, gyda rhagor o bobl yn siopa ar\-lein ac mewn siopau cyfleustra (i fyny 43% a 40% yn y drefn honno).


Y cam cyntaf â blaenoriaeth yw cefnogi’r sector a’i arwain drwy effeithiau COVID\-19 wrth iddynt ddod i’r amlwg, i sicrhau bod busnesau a rhwydweithiau cyflenwi yn goroesi ac yn cynnal llwyddiant ac enw da’r sector – enw da sydd wedi cyrraedd pob cwr o’r byd.


Mewn partneriaeth â Bwyd a Diod Cymru, mae cyfres o feysydd â blaenoriaeth i gefnogi’r sector wedi cael ei chyhoeddi heddiw, gan gynnwys:


* Monitro gwybodaeth am y farchnad, data a thueddiadau i ragweld newid a pharatoi’r sector;
* Darparu’r cyngor ymarferol sy’n hanfodol er mwyn i fusnesau oroesi;
* Darparu cyngor a chymorth i helpu busnesau i ddatblygu sianeli gwerthu ar\-lein;
* Buddsoddi mewn pobl a thechnoleg wedi’i dargedu i adeiladau cadernid busnesau;
* Cynnal presenoldeb yn y farchnad fyd\-eang drwy gymryd rhan yn rhithwir yn ein prif ddigwyddiad, Blas Cymru, yn 2021\.


Camau i ganolbwyntio arnynt yn y tymor byr fydd y camau sy’n cael eu cyhoeddi heddiw. Byddant yn cael eu gweithredu ar y cyd a byddant yn targedu cymorth ar gyfer y sector yn ystod y misoedd nesaf, tan yr haf y flwyddyn nesaf. Byddant yn pontio rhwng y strategaeth bresennol, Tuag at Dwf Cynaliadwy, sy’n dod i ben yn 2020, a’r strategaeth newydd sy’n cael ei datblygu ar hyn o bryd.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig, Lesley Griffiths:  



> Mae’r diwydiant bwyd a diod yng Nghymru wedi chwarae rôl allweddol wrth fwydo’r genedl yn ystod yr adeg ddigynsail hon, a hoffwn i ddiolch i’r rheini sydd wedi gweithio’n ddiflino i gynnal cadwyni cyflenwi.
> 
> 
> Yn awr mae’n rhaid inni edrych tuag at y dyfodol, a nod y camau a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yw cefnogi’r diwydiant lle mae’r pandemig wedi effeithio arno, a symud ymlaen i’r cyfnod adfer.
> 
> 
> Rhaid inni sefydlogi’r sector cyn gynted â phosibl, wrth hefyd ystyried y tymor hir er mwyn adeiladu at y dyfodol. Drwy weithio gyda’n gilydd, gallwn ni sicrhau bod ein sector bwyd a diod yng Nghymru, sydd wedi ennill enw da ledled y byd, yn parhau i fod yn llwyddiannus.


Dywedodd Cadeirydd Bwrdd Bwyd a Diod Cymru, Andy Richardson:



> Roedd argyfwng y coronafeirws yn sioc i bawb, pan ddaeth y pandemig i’r amlwg yn gynnar yn 2020\. Yn anffodus, nid yw’r diwydiant bwyd a diod wedi llwyddo i osgoi effeithiau’r argyfwng, ond yn bennaf ar yr adeg hon rydyn ni’n cofio’r rheini sydd wedi marw neu sydd wedi colli teulu, ffrindiau a chydweithwyr.
> 
> 
> Er bod rhai busnesau bwyd a diod yng Nghymru wedi ffynnu yn ystod yr argyfwng, mae eraill yn parhau i ddioddef effeithiau sylweddol. Rydyn ni’n addo i fusnesau bwyd a diod Cymru y byddwn ni’n parhau i frwydro dros ein diwydiant ac yn llunio strategaeth a chynllun tactegol a fydd yn helpu sector bwyd a diod Cymru i ailgodi yn dilyn yr argyfwng, a pharhau ar ei lwybr o dwf, cyflogaeth a dylanwadu ar y byd.


Cafodd ‘Tuag at Dwf Cynaliadwy’ ei chyhoeddi yn 2014 a bydd yn dod i ben eleni. Ar ddechrau 2020, roedd Tuag at Dwf Cynaliadwy wedi rhagori ar ei tharged uchaf ar gyfer y sector bwyd a ffermio â blaenoriaeth, gyda gwerthiannau gwerth £7\.473 biliwn o’u cymharu â’r targed o £7 biliwn.
