Bydd y prosiect Meincnodi Cig Coch (dolen allanol), o dan nawdd Cronfa Bontio'r UE Llywodraeth Cymru, yn helpu 2,000 o ffermwyr i ddeall perfformiad technegol ac ariannol eu busnes a sicrhau eu bod yn gystadleuol mewn marchnad gyfnewidiol. 

 Hybu Cig Cymru fydd yn rheoli'r prosiect a bydd ffermwyr yn cael bwydo gwybodaeth am eu busnes o heddiw ymlaen. Bydd y prosiect ar agor am ddau fis, ac yn cau 10 Rhagfyr. 

 Mae cynhyrchwyr cymwys ledled Cymru yn cael eu hannog i gymryd rhan trwy lenwi holiadur ar\-lein ar berfformiad ariannol a ffisegol eu busnesau ym mlynyddoedd ariannol 2016\-17\-2017\-18\. Y cyntaf i'r felin fydd yn cael cymryd rhan. 

 Bydd y ffermwyr, am gymryd rhan, yn cael asesiad o'u busnes a'u cynhyrchiant a fydd yn cynnwys eu cymharu'n ddi\-enw â busnesau tebyg yn y sector. Bydd y ffermwyr sy'n cymryd rhan yn cael tâl o £1,000 am eu hamser. 

 Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet:  

 
> "Prin chwe mis sydd i fynd erbyn hyn cyn bod y DU yn gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd ac mae perygl mawr y gallwn adael heb gytundeb. Dyw'r angen i baratoi ar gyfer byd ar ôl Brexit erioed wedi bod yn fwy. 
> 
>  "Fel Llywodraeth, rydyn ni wastad wedi dweud y gwnawn bopeth yn ein gallu i gefnogi'r sector amaeth i baratoi ac i addasu i'r heriau a'r cyfleoedd y mae Brexit yn eu cynnig. Yn gynharach eleni, cyhoeddais y byddwn yn neilltuo £2\.15m ar gyfer prosiect meincnodi cig coch newydd i helpu ffermwyr eidion a defaid i wneud hynny. 
> 
>  "Gan ddilyn gwaith llwyddiannus ein prosiect ar gyfer Ffermwyr Godro, bydd y system yn helpu dwy fil o ffermwyr eidion a defaid i feincnodi eu perfformiad technegol ac ariannol a nodi lle gallai'u busnes wella. 
> 
>  "O heddiw ymlaen, mae ffermwyr eidion a defaid yn cael bwydo'u data a chael asesiad personol o'u busnes. Bydd y prosiect ar agor am ddau fis ac rwy'n pwyso ar bob ffermwr sy'n gymwys i ddysgu mwy a chymryd rhan yn y prosiect. 
> 
>  "Mae hwn yn fuddsoddiad hanfodol i'r sector ar adeg anodd. Bydd yn helpu ffermwyr eidion a defaid i barhau'n gystadleuol mewn byd cyfnewidiol, i wneud yn fawr o bob cyfle ac i sicrhau eu bod yn gallu llwyddo mewn byd ar ôl Brexit."

 Dywedodd Rheolwr Datblygu Diwydiant Hybu Cig Cymru, John Richards: 

 
> "Dyma gyfle i'r cynhyrchydd cig coch gymryd cam yn ôl i asesu cyflwr ariannol ei fusnes ac edrych yn fanwl ar sut y mae'n gwneud. A ninnau ar drothwy Brexit, mae'n hanfodol bod ein busnesau mewn cyflwr ariannol dda. Mae'n bryd nawr i'n sector dorchi'i lewys a chyfrannu at y darlun mawr. 
> 
>  Fe fydd buddiannau i ffermwyr sy'n rhoi o'u hamser i gymryd rhan yn y prosiect; byddan nhw'n cael yr wybodaeth sydd ei hangen arnyn nhw i wneud penderfyniadau doeth am eu busnesau i'w gwneud yn fwy cynhyrchiol ac effeithiol. Gallai hynny arwain at fusnesau mwy hyderus a chystadleuol yn y dyfodol."

The Red Meat Benchmarking project (external link), supported through the Welsh Government’s EU Transition Fund, will support 2,000 farmers to better understand the technical and financial performance of their business and ensure their competitiveness in a changing market.

 The project is managed by Hybu Cig Cymru enabling farmers to input their business data from today. The project will remain open for two months, closing on 10 December.

 Eligible producers across Wales are being encouraged to participate on a first come first served basis by completing the online questionnaire on the financial and physical performance of their business from the 2016\-7 or 2017\-8 financial years.

 In return, participating farmers will receive a bespoke assessment of their business and productivity which will include anonymous comparisons with similar businesses within the sector.  Participating farmers will also receive a compensatory payment of £1,000 for the time and effort of taking part.

   
The Cabinet Secretary said: 

 
> “It is now less than six months before the UK leaves the European Union and the prospect of a no deal looms large.  The need to prepare for a post\-Brexit world has never been more essential.
> 
>  “As a Government, we have always said we will do all we can to support our agricultural sector to help them prepare and adapt to the challenges and opportunities Brexit presents.  Earlier this year I announced a £2\.15m new red meat benchmarking project to help beef and sheep farmers do just that.
> 
>  “Building on the successful work of our Dairy Conditional project, the system will support two thousand beef and sheep farmers benchmark their financial and technical performance and identify areas of their business which could be improved.
> 
>  “From today beef and sheep farmers can input their data and in return receive a bespoke assessment report on their business.  This system will remain open for two months and I urge all eligible producers to find out more and take part in the project.
> 
>  “This is crucial investment for the sector at this difficult and challenging time.  It will enable beef and sheep farmers to maintain their competitiveness in changing markets, maximise any emerging opportunities and ensure they are able to thrive in a post\-Brexit world.”

   
Hybu Cig Cymru’s Industry Development Manager, John Richards said: 

 
> “This is a red meat producer’s opportunity to step back, assess the financial status of their business and take a really good look at how it’s performing. With Brexit just around the corner, it is crucially important that our businesses are financially fit. Now’s the time for our sector to raise its game and contribute towards the bigger picture.
> 
>  “There will be direct benefits for farmers who take time to participate in the project; they will be equipped with knowledge and information to make informed changes to their businesses, leading to improved productivity and efficiency. This could result in more confident and competitive businesses in the future.”
