Fis Tachwedd diwethaf, cyhoeddais imi gomisiynu adolygiad ffurfiol o Hybu Cig Cymru (HCC). HCC yw’r corff sy’n gyfrifol am godi ardollau amaethyddol ar y sector cig coch yng Nghymru. Llywodraeth Cymru sy’n berchen arno ond mae’n cael ei redeg yn annibynnol arni. Mae’n hyrwyddo ac yn marchnata cynnyrch cig o Gymru yn y DU a thu hwnt ac yn gweithio i godi safonau yn y sector cig coch yng Nghymru. Gwna hyn drwy hyfforddi, trosglwyddo technegol a gwybodaeth i ffermwyr a chyrff eraill y diwydiant, yn ogystal â thrwy ymchwil a datblygu.

 Dechreuwyd yr adolygiad ddechrau’r flwyddyn a chaiff yr adroddiad arno ei gyhoeddi yn yr haf. Mae Kevin Roberts wedi siarad ag amrywiaeth eang o bobl er mwyn pwyso a mesur rôl HCC a’i allu i roi gwerth eu harian i Lywodraeth Cymru ac i dalwyr yr ardoll. Bydd adolygiad Kevin yn dylanwadu ar y penderfyniad ynghylch a ddylai HCC gael parhau â’i waith ac os felly, sut. Nid yw’r adolygiad wedi’i gwblhau eto, mae llawer o bobl eto gennym  i siarad â nhw ond roeddwn am rannu’r sefyllfa hyd yma â chi.

 Canfyddiadau cyntaf Kevin yw:

 * dylid cadw’r ardoll statudol
* HCC yw’r cyfrwng addas o hyd i gasglu a gwario’r ardollau statudol
* dylai rôl HCC o ran datblygu’r farchnad barhau ond mae angen ei diwygio
* mae angen cydgysylltu’r gwaith o ddatblygu’r diwydiant yn well gyda gwasanaethau eraill sydd ar gael yn y farchnad i drosglwyddo gwybodaeth, e.e. Cyswllt Ffermio.
* daw budd i HCC a Llywodraeth Cymru pe baen nhw’n cydweithio mwy â’i gilydd a thrwy drefniadau llywodraethu agosach
* dylai holl aelodau bwrdd HCC gyfrannu fwy at ddatblygu cynlluniau strategol a chorfforaethol. Canlyniad hynny fyddai strategaeth sy’n perthyn i’r bwrdd cyfan. Bydd hynny’n ei dro yn caniatáu i bob aelod gyflawni’n well ei rôl bwysig o arwain gwaith HCC a chyfathrebu â’r diwydiant ehangach
* o ran ei atebolrwydd i’r diwydiant, dylai HCC ymwneud fwy â thalwyr yr ardoll.  Dylai holl aelodau’r bwrdd fod yn gyfrifol am hyn.

 Hoffwn ddiolch i Kevin Roberts am ei waith hyd yma ac i bawb sydd wedi cyfrannu hyd yn hyn at yr adolygiad.

Last November I announced that I had commissioned a formal review of Hybu Cig Cymru (HCC). HCC is the Welsh Government owned, but independently operated, agricultural levy body for the red meat sector in Wales. It promotes and markets Welsh meat products both in the UK and overseas and works to develop improved standards in the red meat agriculture sector in Wales. It does this through training, technology transfer and information provision to farmers and other industry bodies, as well as research and development.

The review commenced at the start of the year and the findings will be published in the summer. Kevin Roberts has been talking to a wide range of people in order to evaluate the role of HCC and its ability to deliver value for money for the Welsh Government and levy payers. Kevin’s review will inform decisions about whether HCC should continue its work and if so in what form. The engagement has not yet ended, there are many more people to speak to but I wanted to share with you the progress made to date.

Kevin’s initial findings are that:

* the statutory levy should continue
* HCC continues to be the appropriate vehicle through which appropriate statutory levies are collected and spent
* the role of HCC in providing market development should be continued but needs refinement
* there is a need to better coordinate industry development work with other services which are available in the market for knowledge transfer, for example Farming Connect
* closer working and governance arrangements between HCC and the Welsh Government would benefit both organisations
* the entire board of HCC should be more involved in the development of strategic and corporate plans. This will ensure a greater ownership of the HCC strategy by the board. This in turn will allow each board member to fulfil more effectively the important role of leading the work of HCC and communicating with the wider industry
* in respect of its accountability to the industry, HCC should undertake more effective engagement with levy payers and this responsibility should extend to all board members.

I would like to thank Kevin Roberts for the work he has undertaken to date and to thank all those who have contributed thus far to the review.
