English: Obviously, it's really, really important that we're focusing on the foundational economy at this time, because we are about to enter a really, really difficult economic recession. Local procurement is absolutely key to keeping whatever money is circulating in any particular community in that community, because there's going to be a real shortage of it. So, I read with slight despair that procurement is part of evolving policy across Welsh Government, because it seems to me that we really do need to get on with this. And it is where the public services boards have really got to step up to the plate, because if they're not worrying about how much money is being spent locally with local companies and therefore staying within that local area, nobody else is going to be. It really is get-on-with-it time, because in the meantime, all the other large companies that are based somewhere else will be more than happy to take people's money, and then all the profits go elsewhere. You won't be surprised to know that I, obviously, would like to see many more local food networks, as we are on the eve of the abyss of a possible 'no deal' with the European Union. We have no idea just how much disruption to our food supplies there's going to be. And it seems to me that this is absolutely urgent, but it was at least five years ago that Rachel Lewis-Davies, a leading light in the NFU, said to me that farmers will produce anything as long as there's a market, but it's up to the procurement side to specify exactly what they need in that market so that farmers can plan and then produce it, knowing that it is going to be used. There's an awful lot we could take from Puffin Produce, which is one of the most successful Welsh businesses and has actually developed horticulture on a mechanised scale. They've practically collared the whole of the market for potatoes and many other vegetables as well, but we need small businesses involved to produce the sorts of things that are not easy to mechanise, like salads and fruit, in order for us to be able to be delivering fresh food in our schools to our children, who so desperately need it. So, baby steps have been taken by the Welsh Government with farm business grants of between £3,000 and £12,000 to enable increased horticulture production and use of new equipment and technology for field-scale horticulture, but, really, this has got to be scaled up as a matter of urgency, because we really do not know what's going to be happening around the corner. So, I do hope that the Deputy Minister is going to shed some light on exactly what the public services boards are going to be up to in the next period, which is, obviously, going to be extremely challenging.
Welsh: Yn amlwg, mae'n wirioneddol bwysig ein bod yn canolbwyntio ar yr economi sylfaenol ar hyn o bryd, oherwydd rydym ar fin mynd i mewn i ddirwasgiad economaidd gwirioneddol anodd. Mae caffael lleol yn gwbl allweddol i gadw pa arian bynnag sy'n cylchredeg mewn unrhyw gymuned benodol o fewn y gymuned honno, oherwydd bydd prinder gwirioneddol ohono. Felly, darllenais gydag ychydig o anobaith fod caffael yn rhan o bolisi sy'n esblygu ar draws Llywodraeth Cymru, oherwydd mae'n ymddangos i mi fod gwir angen inni fwrw ymlaen â hyn. A dyma lle mae'n rhaid i'r byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus gamu i'r adwy, oherwydd os nad ydynt hwy'n poeni faint o arian sy'n cael ei wario'n lleol gyda chwmnïau lleol ac felly'n aros o fewn yr ardal leol honno, nid oes neb arall yn mynd i wneud hynny. Mae'n bryd bwrw iddi, oherwydd yn y cyfamser, bydd yr holl gwmnïau mawr eraill sydd wedi'u lleoli yn rhywle arall yn fwy na pharod i gymryd arian pobl, a bydd yr holl elw'n mynd i rywle arall wedyn. Ni fyddwch yn synnu clywed y byddwn i, yn amlwg, yn hoffi gweld llawer mwy o rwydweithiau bwyd lleol, gan ein bod ar fin wynebu'r posibilrwydd enbyd y byddwn yn gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd heb gytundeb. Nid oes gennym syniad faint o darfu a fydd ar ein cyflenwadau bwyd. Ac mae'n ymddangos i mi fod angen gwneud hyn ar frys mawr, ond o leiaf bum mlynedd yn ôl dywedodd Rachel Lewis-Davies sy'n flaenllaw gydag Undeb Cenedlaethol yr Amaethwyr wrthyf y bydd ffermwyr yn cynhyrchu unrhyw beth cyn belled â bod marchnad ar ei gyfer, ond mater i'r ochr gaffael yw nodi'n union beth sydd ei angen arnynt yn y farchnad honno fel y gall ffermwyr gynllunio a'i gynhyrchu wedyn gan wybod y bydd yn cael ei ddefnyddio. Mae llawer iawn y gallem ei ddysgu gan Puffin Produce, sy'n un o fusnesau mwyaf llwyddiannus Cymru ac sydd wedi datblygu garddwriaeth ar raddfa fecanyddol. Maent wedi cornelu'r farchnad datws yn ei chyfanrwydd fwy neu lai a llawer o lysiau eraill hefyd, ond mae angen busnesau bach arnom i gynhyrchu'r mathau o bethau nad ydynt yn hawdd eu ffermio'n fecanyddol, fel llysiau salad a ffrwythau, er mwyn inni allu darparu bwyd ffres yn ein hysgolion i'n plant, sydd cymaint o angen bwyd o'r fath. Felly, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi rhoi camau bach ar waith gyda grantiau i fusnesau fferm o rhwng £3,000 a £12,000 i alluogi mwy o gynhyrchu garddwriaethol a defnydd o offer a thechnoleg newydd ar gyfer garddwriaeth ar raddfa cae, ond mewn gwirionedd, rhaid gwneud hyn ar raddfa fwy fel mater o frys, oherwydd nid ydym yn gwybod beth fydd yn digwydd rownd y gornel. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio y bydd y Dirprwy Weinidog yn taflu rhywfaint o oleuni ar beth yn union y bydd y byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn ei wneud yn y cyfnod nesaf, sy'n mynd i fod yn heriol dros ben wrth gwrs.
