More than 50 NFU Cymru members have united in a defiant video message declaring their commitment to continuing to feed the nation throughout the Coronavirus outbreak and beyond.

NFU Cymru President John Davies, who features in the video, said: “During a time of extreme stress and strain, not just for our industry but for the whole world, I am thrilled that our enthusiastic members have come together in a show of unity to deliver a positive message to the general public

“Although our industry continues to face sizeable challenges as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, farmers across Wales are steadfast in their commitment to ensuring that the public receive a good supply of safe, high quality, fully traceable food produced to world-leading standards, throughout this current crisis and well into the future. Watching this video, I think it is evident that farmers take immense pride in their integral role in keeping the nation fed and it is a role that we do not take for granted.

“Farmers, like the rest of society, are observing social distancing measures that mean we cannot get together. But despite the restrictions, I also believe this video is an important demonstration that the unique camaraderie in our rural communities is alive and well.”
