Welsh Government’s Project HELIX provides funding support for research into global food production, trends and waste to help small to medium sized food manufacturers across Wales to increase production and reduce waste.


The project is funded through the Rural Development Programme (RDP) and is expected to create 370 new jobs, primarily in rural Wales and the Valleys, while safeguarding a further 2,000 over the next 5 years.


The research will take into consideration new challenges and opportunities facing the industry as a result of the UK’s decision to leave the EU. The findings will provide Welsh producers with the best opportunity for growth and economic impact. 


The project was launched at Welsh Government’s TasteWales event today where over 100 Welsh producers showcased the very best of the Welsh food and drink industry to over 150 UK and international buyers. 


The Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths said:



> “We’ve set ambitious targets for the food and drink industry to achieve growth of 30% by 2020 and I am pleased to say we are firmly on course to meet that target. Project HELIX is the next step on the journey to ensure our food and drink industry is globally recognised for quality, creativity and skills.”


Developed by Food Innovation Wales (FIW), which is a partnership of the 3 food centres in Wales, Project HELIX will support food manufacturers over the next 5 years in:


* Innovation –fast\-tracking new innovative products and food company start\-ups
* Efficiency – assisting businesses to reduce waste during food processing thereby securing costs savings  and waste reduction
* Strategy – seeking to ensure a world\-class industry through advanced skills in key areas, such as food technology.


David Lloyd from Cardiff Metropolitan University’s ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre, one of the FIW partners said:



> "We want the industry to be innovative right across the board, from improving nutritional standards and new product development in response to health and well\-being challenges to retail and market trends. Our aim is to put Wales on the global food and drink map, and to do that, HELIX will provide high levels of support such as identifying business people who want to invest or advising food manufacturers on technical standards and regulations.”


Martin Jardine, Food Technology Centre Manager at Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, another of the Food Innovation Wales partners, said: 



> "Efficiency is critical to business success, from being more responsive to changing markets, meeting environmental challenges like reducing food miles and food waste, right through to making the supply chain more effective. By forensically looking at ways to become more efficient on each and every step of the food and drink journey, I’m confident that the sector in Wales has a very bright future.”


Completing the FIW partnership is Eirlys Lloyd of Food Centre Wales based in Ceredigion, who added:  



> "By being more strategic there is huge potential for the Welsh food and drink sector to improve and realise its ambitious growth targets. Through the HELIX project we will support businesses in Wales to analyse their entire operation and strategically plan every element, including industrial manufacturing, food processing, public engagement and skills training and development.”

Mae prosiect HELIX Llywodraeth Cymru yn darparu cyllid ar gyfer gwaith ymchwil i gynhyrchu bwyd yn fyd\-eang, tueddiadau ym maes cynhyrchu bwyd, a gwastraff, i helpu gweithgynhyrchwyr bwyd bach a chanolig ledled Cymru i gynhyrchu mwy a chreu llai o wastraff.   

Caiff y Prosiect ei ariannu drwy’r Rhaglen Datblygu Gwledig ac mae disgwyl iddo greu 370 o swyddi newydd, yn bennaf yng nghefn gwlad Cymru a’r Cymoedd, tra’n diogelu 2,000 arall dros y bum mlynedd nesaf. 

Bydd y gwaith ymchwil yn ystyried yr heriau a’r cyfleoedd newydd sy’n wynebu’r diwydiant o ganlyniad i benderfyniad y DU i adael yr UE. Bydd y canfyddiadau’n dangos y ffordd orau i gynhyrchwyr o Gymru sicrhau twf ac i gael effaith ar yr economi.

Cafodd y Prosiect ei lansio yn nigwyddiad Blas ar Gymru Llywodraeth Cymru heddiw, ble y bu dros 100 o gynhyrchwyr o Gymru yn arddangos y gorau o’r diwydiant bwyd a diod yng Nghymru i dros 150 o brynwyr o Brydain a thramor.  

Wrth siarad yn Blas ar Gymru, dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig, Lesley Griffiths:


> “Rydym wedi gosod targedau uchelgeisiol i’r diwydiant bwyd a diod i sicrhau twf o 30% erbyn 2020 ac rwy’n falch o ddweud ein bod yn bendant ar y trywydd iawn i gyrraedd y targed hwnnw.  Prosiect HELIX yw’r cam nesaf ar y daith i sicrhau bod y diwydiant bwyd a diod yn cael ei gydnabod ledled y byd am ei  safon, ei greadigrwydd a’i sgiliau.”

Wedi’i ddatblygu gan Arloesi Bwyd Cymru (FIW), sy’n bartneriaeth o dair canolfan bwyd yng Nghymru, bydd Prosiect HELIX yn helpu cwmnïau bwyd dros y bum mlynedd nesaf ym maes:

* Arloesi –datblygu cynnyrch newydd arloesol a chwmnïau bwyd newydd
* Effeithiolrwydd – helpu busnesau i leihau gwastraff wrth brosesu bwyd a thrwy hynny sicrhau arbedion costau a lleihau gwastraff
* Strategaeth – ceisio sicrhau diwydiant o safon fyd\-eang drwy sgiliau datblygedig mewn meysydd allweddol megis technoleg bwyd.

Meddai David Lloyd o Ganolfan Diwydiant Bwyd Prifysgol Fetropolitan Caerdydd ZERO2FIVE, un o bartneriaid Arloesi Bwyd Cymru:


> "Rydym am i’r diwydiant fod yn arloesol ym mhob maes, o wella safonau maeth a datblygu cynnyrch newydd i ymateb i heriau iechyd a llesiant, i dueddiadau  ym maes manwerthu a’r farchnad.  Ein nod yw rhoi Cymru ar y map bwyd a diod ledled y byd, ac i wneud hynny, bydd HELIX yn cynnig llawer o gefnogaeth megis dod o hyd i’r bobl fusnes sydd am fuddsoddi neu roi cyngor i weithgynhyrchwyr bwyd ar safonau a rheoliadau technegol.”

Meddai Martin Jardine, Rheolwr Canolfan Technoleg Bwyd Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, un arall o bartneriaid Arloesi Bwyd Cymru:  


> "Mae effeithiolrwydd yn hanfodol i lwyddiant y busnes, o ymateb mwy i farchnadoedd sy’n newid, bodloni heriau amgylcheddol megis lleihau milltiroedd bwyd a gwastraff bwyd, i sicrhau bod y gadwyn gyflenwi yn fwy effeithiol.  Drwy edrych yn fforensig am ffyrdd o fod yn fwy effeithiol ar bob cam wrth gynhyrchu bwyd a diod, rwy’n hyderus bod gan y sector yng Nghymru ddyfodol llewyrchus iawn.”

Cwmni olaf partneriaeth Arloesi Bwyd Cymru yw Eirlys Lloyd o Ganolfan Bwyd Cymru yng Ngheredigion, a ychwanegodd:  


> "Trwy fod yn fwy strategol mae posibiliadau enfawr i’r sector bwyd a diod yng Nghymru wella a chyrraedd ei dargedau uchelgeisiol ar gyfer twf.  Trwy’r prosiect  HELIX byddwn yn helpu busnesau yng Nghymru i ddadansoddi eu prosiectau cyfan a chynllunio pob elfen yn strategol, gan gynnwys gweithgynhyrchu diwydiannol, prosesu bwyd, cysylltu â’r cyhoedd a hyfforddi a datblygu sgiliau.”
