English: As the opener, Sam Kurtz, touched on when he was opening this debate - . He talked of the cost pressures within the industry, he talked of the interdependency of the industry, from primary producers, farmers, to the processors and the retailers. That's why such an important part of the motion that's before the Senedd today is about pulling together that whole chain to discuss what is needed from Government. You have a unique opportunity, Minister, with the agricultural Bill that is coming before the Senedd in April to actually do that. That's why the Agriculture Act 1947 was so important - that the Labour Government brought forward in 1947 - to address the crisis that faced Europe from the devastation of the second world war and the food security that needed to be put in place. That's why we put the motion down today to try and be constructive in trying to tease out from the Government a vision for where it wants to be. But, as we heard from the Member for Cardiff Central who said that there was a lack of coherence in the Government planning - . I can see the Minister whispering to her colleague the Minister for education. You might like to take note of what the Member for Cardiff Central said about the lack of coherence around the plans that you have put in place as the Minister for rural affairs for the last five years. That's not me speaking; that's coming from your own benches. I want to see the Senedd working collaboratively together so that we can deal with the food security issues that Peter Fox has tried to touch on with his Bill, the food Bill that he has put forward that is moving through this Senedd at the moment and touches on the points that John Griffiths also mentioned about food waste, because that is another critical component that we need to deal with - rather than just producing the food, seeing so much food going to waste from major multiples as well as restaurants. But it is the issue that the amendment tabled by Plaid Cymru, which talked about the trade deals that have been discussed post Brexit - . I make no apologies for those trade deals at all. It is an opportunity for us to unlock the potential and open up markets, the Pacific rim market of 1.2 billion consumers - 1.2 billion consumers. I will stand on any platform and make the case that we need to be engaged to support the farmers in Wales and the rest of the UK to unlock that potential. That's where the growth will be coming from. But, in the immediate, what we need to be dealing with is making sure that we have the capacity here in Wales to grow the food, to process that food, and sell that food. The point that was made about milk production is well made time and time again: sadly, we don't have a major milk processing facility here in Wales; we have to send that processing capacity over the other side of Offa's Dyke and then return it. So, Members across the Chamber can talk about local production, but unless we've got the processing facilities to do it, we're not adding value here in Wales, and that's really important - something that the Government again could be focusing its energies on, that the Irish Government have been so successful with. I have time and time again raised this point with the Minister and the Labour frontbench about the 'Harvest 2020' document that the Irish Government brought forward, that Janet Finch-Saunders touched on. She was talking about the other countries - Finland, for example, with exceptional food security rates, and the Republic of Ireland coming second in the league table because they've got the processors, they've got the producers, and they've got the retailers around the table and have mapped out a way forward to achieve that. We haven't succeeded in doing that here in Wales, and we need to up our game. John Griffiths's contribution was so well timed, highlighting success stories of local produce actually making it from the farm in a local area in Newport to the actual retail space from vending machines and the Newport market redevelopment. That is an important development that more producers need to be able to access and enjoy that benefit that we can see. But, it is vital, Minister, that you use the opportunity that you do have to use the agricultural Bill to put those incentives in place. Several Members, including the regional Member for North Wales on your own benches, said that producing food is a public good. It is a public - [ Interruption.] Well, your own Member on the backbenches pointed that out. And with the greatest of respect, what's going on in Ukraine today will be measured for decades to come, and the danger is that we don't use this opportunity to make sure that we make food security an important part of what we want to support going forward. And you can count on it as being a public good. It was European regulations that would prevent that being part of the public good. You have the legislative ability to carve out your niche here, Minister, and put your stamp on this. And I would hope today that we could call on the Chamber to support the motion that's before us, because it is vitally important that we gain the attention of the public of what is coming down the road at us. And if we can do that by driving forward a food Bill that Peter Fox has put before us, and also the agricultural Bill that your Government are bringing forward in the spring, we can make a real difference to people's lives, the length and breadth of Wales. And I will end again on that comment from David Beasley, who's head of the food programme, who said if you think that we're going on hell on earth at the moment, you just get ready for it, because that is what's going to happen the longer the Ukraine war continues, and it's wrong if we don't put the precautions in place to make sure that people can have food on the table at an affordable price. We can do it, we must do it, and we can't lose this opportunity to get on with it. So, I hope the Senedd will support the motion before them today.
Welsh: Fel y soniodd Sam Kurtz wrth agor y ddadl - . Soniodd am bwysau costau o fewn y diwydiant, soniodd am gyd-ddibyniaeth y diwydiant, o gynhyrchwyr sylfaenol, ffermwyr, i'r proseswyr a'r manwerthwyr. Dyna pam y mae rhan mor bwysig o'r cynnig sydd gerbron y Senedd heddiw yn ymwneud â thynnu ynghyd y gadwyn gyfan honno i drafod yr hyn sydd ei angen gan y Llywodraeth. Mae gennych gyfle unigryw i wneud hynny, Weinidog, gyda'r Bil amaethyddol sy'n dod gerbron y Senedd ym mis Ebrill. Dyna pam fod Deddf Amaethyddiaeth 1947 mor bwysig - y Ddeddf a gyflwynwyd gan y Llywodraeth Lafur yn 1947 - i fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng a wynebai Ewrop yn sgil dinistr yr ail ryfel byd a'r angen i ddiogelu'r cyflenwad bwyd. Dyna pam y cyflwynwyd y cynnig heddiw i geisio bod yn adeiladol wrth geisio cymell gweledigaeth gan y Llywodraeth ar gyfer lle mae am fod. Ond fel y clywsom gan yr Aelod dros Ganol Caerdydd a ddywedodd fod diffyg cydlyniant yng nghynlluniau'r Llywodraeth - . Gallaf weld y Gweinidog yn sibrwd wrth ei chyd-Weinidog, y Gweinidog addysg. Efallai yr hoffech nodi'r hyn a ddywedodd yr Aelod dros Ganol Caerdydd am y diffyg cydlyniant yn y cynlluniau a roddwyd ar waith gennych chi fel y Gweinidog materion gwledig dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf. Nid fi sy'n siarad; daw hynny oddi ar eich meinciau eich hun. Rwyf am weld y Senedd yn cydweithio fel y gallwn ymdrin â phroblemau diogelu'r cyflenwad bwyd y mae Peter Fox wedi ceisio ymdrin â hwy gyda'i Fil, y Bil bwyd y mae wedi'i gyflwyno sy'n mynd drwy'r Senedd ar hyn o bryd ac mae'n cyffwrdd â'r pwyntiau y soniodd John Griffiths amdanynt hefyd am wastraff bwyd, oherwydd mae honno'n elfen hollbwysig arall y mae angen inni ymdrin â hi - yn hytrach na chynhyrchu'r bwyd yn unig, gweld cymaint o fwyd a wastraffir gan siopau mawr yn ogystal â bwytai. Ond ynglŷn â'r gwelliant a gyflwynwyd gan Blaid Cymru, a oedd yn sôn am y cytundebau masnach a drafodwyd ar ôl Brexit - . Nid wyf yn ymddiheuro am y cytundebau masnach hynny o gwbl. Mae'n gyfle inni ryddhau'r potensial ac agor marchnadoedd, marchnad gwledydd y Môr Tawel gydag 1.2 biliwn o ddefnyddwyr - 1.2 biliwn o ddefnyddwyr. Rwy'n barod i sefyll ar unrhyw lwyfan a dadlau bod angen inni fod yn rhan o'r gwaith o gefnogi ffermwyr Cymru a gweddill y DU i ryddhau'r potensial hwnnw. O'r fan honno y daw'r twf. Ond yr hyn y mae angen inni ymdrin ag ef ar unwaith yw sicrhau bod gennym allu yma yng Nghymru i dyfu'r bwyd, i brosesu'r bwyd hwnnw, a'i werthu. Mae'r pwynt a wnaed am gynhyrchiant llaeth wedi'i wneud yn dda dro ar ôl tro: yn anffodus, nid oes gennym gyfleuster prosesu llaeth mawr yma yng Nghymru; rhaid inni anfon y capasiti prosesu hwnnw dros Glawdd Offa a dod ag ef yn ôl. Felly, gall Aelodau ar draws y Siambr siarad am gynhyrchiant lleol, ond oni bai bod gennym gyfleusterau prosesu i'w wneud, nid ydym yn ychwanegu gwerth yma yng Nghymru, ac mae hynny'n bwysig iawn - rhywbeth y gallai'r Llywodraeth eto fod yn canolbwyntio ei hegni arno, a rhywbeth y mae Llywodraeth Iwerddon wedi bod mor llwyddiannus yn ei wneud. Rwyf wedi codi'r pwynt hwn dro ar ôl tro gyda'r Gweinidog a mainc flaen Llafur am y ddogfen 'Cynhaeaf 2020' a gyflwynwyd gan Lywodraeth Iwerddon, ac y cyfeiriodd Janet Finch-Saunders ati. Roedd hi'n sôn am y gwledydd eraill - y Ffindir, er enghraifft, gyda chyfraddau diogelwch cyflenwad bwyd eithriadol, a Gweriniaeth Iwerddon yn dod yn ail yn y tabl oherwydd bod ganddynt broseswyr, mae ganddynt gynhyrchwyr, ac mae ganddynt fanwerthwyr o amgylch y bwrdd ac maent wedi cynllunio ffordd ymlaen i gyflawni hynny. Nid ydym wedi llwyddo i wneud hynny yma yng Nghymru, ac mae angen inni wneud yn well. Roedd cyfraniad John Griffiths wedi'i amseru mor dda, wrth iddo dynnu sylw at lwyddiannau cynnyrch lleol sy'n mynd o'r fferm mewn ardal leol yng Nghasnewydd i'r gofod manwerthu o beiriannau gwerthu ac ailddatblygiad marchnad Casnewydd. Mae hwnnw'n ddatblygiad pwysig y mae angen i fwy o gynhyrchwyr allu gwneud defnydd ohono a mwynhau'r budd y gallwn ei weld. Ond Weinidog, mae'n hanfodol eich bod yn defnyddio'r cyfle sydd gennych i ddefnyddio'r Bil amaethyddol i roi'r cymhellion hynny ar waith. Dywedodd sawl Aelod, gan gynnwys yr Aelod rhanbarthol dros Ogledd Cymru ar eich meinciau eich hun, fod cynhyrchu bwyd yn nwydd cyhoeddus. Mae'n nwydd cyhoeddus - [ Torri ar draws.] Wel, tynnodd eich Aelod eich hun ar y meinciau cefn sylw at hynny. A chyda'r parch mwyaf, bydd yr hyn sy'n digwydd yn Wcráin heddiw yn cael ei fesur am ddegawdau i ddod, a'r perygl yw nad ydym yn defnyddio'r cyfle hwn i sicrhau ein bod yn gwneud diogelu'r cyflenwad bwyd yn rhan bwysig o'r hyn yr ydym am ei gefnogi wrth symud ymlaen. A gallwch fod yn sicr ei fod yn nwydd cyhoeddus. Rheoliadau Ewropeaidd oedd yn atal hynny rhag bod yn nwydd cyhoeddus. Mae gennych y gallu deddfwriaethol i lunio eich trywydd eich hun yma, Weinidog, a rhoi eich stamp ar hyn. A byddwn yn gobeithio heddiw y gallem alw ar y Siambr i gefnogi'r cynnig sydd ger ein bron, oherwydd mae'n hanfodol bwysig ein bod yn tynnu sylw'r cyhoedd at yr hyn sydd ar y ffordd. Ac os gallwn wneud hynny drwy fwrw ymlaen â Bil bwyd y mae Peter Fox wedi'i gyflwyno i ni, a hefyd y Bil amaethyddol y mae eich Llywodraeth yn ei gyflwyno yn y gwanwyn, gallwn wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i fywydau pobl, ym mhob rhan o Gymru. Ac rwyf am orffen gyda'r sylw hwnnw eto gan David Beasley, pennaeth y rhaglen fwyd, a ddywedodd os credwch ein bod yn mynd drwy uffern ar y ddaear ar hyn o bryd, dylech weld beth sydd i ddod, oherwydd dyna sy'n mynd i ddigwydd po hiraf y bydd rhyfel Wcráin yn parhau, a byddai'n anghywir inni beidio â rhoi'r rhagofalon yn eu lle i sicrhau y gall pobl gael bwyd ar y bwrdd am bris fforddiadwy. Gallwn ei wneud, rhaid inni ei wneud, ac ni allwn golli'r cyfle hwn i fwrw ymlaen â hyn. Felly, gobeithio y bydd y Senedd yn cefnogi'r cynnig sydd ger eu bron heddiw.
