Wales YFC is the largest rural youth organisation in Wales. It has some 6,000 members operating through 12 County Federations and 155 local clubs.


Wales YFC recently received notification that its applications for funding to Natural Resources Wales and the National Voluntary Youth Organisations Fund had been unsuccessful. I would like to clarify that these were competitive processes and that Wales YFC was unsuccessful in its applications. This was not a case of budgets being cut as has been reported in some quarters.


Discussions between Wales YFC and officials from within my Department, alongside discussions that Wales YFC has had with its other key stakeholders, have determined that the organisation will require a new business model if it is to move forward successfully. In response to this challenge, Wales YFC will instigate an Enabling Change Programme. The programme will have the full support of my officials and will allow Wales YFC to build capacity and develop a sound 5\-year business plan that gives a clear direction and identifies future means of income generation that will secure the organisation’s future. Part of the support provided by this government will be a grant to help the organisation put itself on a firm footing. We will continue to work with the YFC to review the progress of the Enabling Change Programme to ensure that the intervention measures are achieving the necessary outcomes for the organisation future sustainability.


Any successful industry requires renewal, fresh blood and fresh ideas, and the Welsh Government through various initiatives, including our hugely successful Young Entrant Support Scheme (YESS) and our Farming Connect Agri Academy, is determined to see young, talented and well qualified people coming through to head\-up successful farm businesses and emerge as leaders within the wider agriculture industry. Our aspirations in this respect were reflected in recent reviews initiated by this government; Kevin Roberts’ Independent Review into Resilience of Farming in Wales and Malcolm Thomas’ Next Generation into Farming report, in particular.


Professor Wynne Jones recently published his Independent Review of Learning Delivered by Further Education Colleges and the Relevance of that Delivery in Supporting Farm Businesses in Wales. In his report, Professor Jones acknowledges the important work that Wales YFC plays in up\-skilling its members and acknowledges the fact that the skills that are learned through membership of the YFC are of considerable benefit to individuals wishing to pursue careers within farming and beyond. It should be noted that not every member of Wales YFC will wish to follow a career in farming, but many will and that is why the organisation is so important to the Welsh Government.  


Wales YFC has a key role working alongside the government and other key stakeholders to help develop the next generation into farming and this is why I believe that by financially supporting the organisation in the short term, we are supporting the long term viability and success of farming in Wales.

Clwb Ffermwyr Ifanc (CFfI) Cymru yw mudiad ieuenctid gwledig mwyaf Cymru.  Mae ganddo ryw 6,000 o aelodau trwy 12 Ffederasiwn Sirol a 155 o glybiau lleol.

Cafodd CFfI Cymru wybod yn ddiweddar na fu eu cais am arian i Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru a Chronfa’r Cyrff Ieuenctid Gwirfoddol Cenedlaethol yn llwyddiannus.  Hoffwn esbonio eu bod yn brosesau cystadleuol ac y bu ceisiadau CFfI Cymru yn aflwyddiannus.  Nid toriadau yn y gyllideb oedd y bai am eu methiant, fel y mae rhai wedi bod yn ei ddweud.  

Mae trafodaethau rhwng CFfI Cymru a swyddogion o’m Hadran, ynghyd â thrafodaethau rhwng y mudiad a rhanddeiliaid eraill, wedi cadarnhau y bydd angen model busnes newydd ar y mudiad os yw am fynd yn ei flaen yn llwyddiannus.  Fel ymateb i’r her hwn, bydd CFfI Cymru yn cynnal Rhaglen Galluogi Newid.  Bydd y rhaglen yn cael cefnogaeth lawn fy swyddogion a bydd yn caniatáu i CFfI Cymru feithrin ei alluoedd a datblygu cynllun busnes 5 mlynedd fydd yn pennu cyfeiriad clir iddo ac yn nodi sut y gall greu incwm i ddiogelu ei ddyfodol.  Rhan o gefnogaeth y Llywodraeth hon i’r rhaglen fydd grant i roi’r mudiad ar sylfeini cadarn.  Byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda’r CFfI i adolygu hynt y Rhaglen Galluogi Newid i sicrhau bod y mesurau’n esgor ar y canlyniadau sydd eu hangen i sicrhau bod gan y mudiad ddyfodol cynaliadwy  

Mae ar bob diwydiant llwyddiannus angen ei adfywio, gwaed newydd a syniadau newydd o bryd i’w gilydd, ac mae Llywodraeth Cymru trwy wahanol fentrau, gan gynnwys y Cynllun Cymorth i Newydd\-ddyfodiaid (YESS) ac Academi Amaeth  Cyswllt Ffermio, dwy fenter hynod lwyddiannus, yn benderfynol o weld pobl ifanc a thalentog â chymwysterau da yn dod yn eu blaenau i arwain busnesau fferm llwyddiannus ac yn tyfu’n arweinwyr o fewn y diwydiant amaeth ehangach.  Mae ein hamcanion yn adleisio adolygiadau diweddar gan y Llywodraeth hon: adolygiad annibynnol Kevin Roberts o Gyfnerthedd Ffermio yng Nghymru, ac adroddiad Malcolm Thomas ar y Genhedlaeth Nesaf o Ffermwyr.  

Cyhoeddodd yr Athro Wynne Jones Adolygiad annibynnol o'r hyn a addysgir gan golegau addysg bellach a pherthnasedd hynny o ran helpu busnesau ffermio yng Nghymru.  Yn ei adroddiad, mae’r Athro Jones yn cydnabod y gwaith pwysig y mae CFfI Cymru’n ei wneud wrth wella sgiliau ei aelodau ac yn cydnabod bod y sgiliau sy’n cael eu dysgu trwy fod yn aelod o’r CFfI o fudd aruthrol i unigolion sydd am ddilyn gyrfa mewn ffermio a thu hwnt.  Mae’n bwysig sylweddoli na fydd pob aelod o CFfI Cymru am ddilyn gyrfa mewn ffermio, ond fe fydd llawer am wneud a dyna pam mae’r mudiad yn fudiad mor bwysig i Lywodraeth Cymru.   
Mae CFfI Cymru yn chwarae rhan bwysig gyda’r llywodraeth a rhanddeiliaid pwysig eraill i helpu i ddatblygu’r genhedlaeth nesaf o ffermwyr a thrwy gefnogi’r mudiad yn ariannol dros y tymor byr, credaf eu bod yn cefnogi llwyddiant ac iechyd tymor hir ffermio yng Nghymru.
