Eleni, oherwydd y tywydd eithriadol o dwym a sych a gawsom yn yr haf, rwyf wedi cyflwyno cynllun benthyciadau BPS i helpu busnesau fferm â'u llif arian ac i reoli'u cyllid tra bo'u hawliadau BPS yn cael eu prosesu. Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer gwneud cais am fenthyciad BPS oedd 30 Tachwedd. Yn sgil y benthyciad, sy'n seiliedig ar 70% o'r taliad BPS 2018 y disgwylir ei dalu, mae £23.1 miliwn yn ychwanegol wedi'i dalu i fwy na 1,200 o fusnesau fferm.
This year, in response to the exceptionally hot and dry weather during the summer, I introduced a BPS loan scheme to help farm businesses manage their cash flow and plan their finances, whilst their BPS claims were being processed. The BPS loan application window closed on 30 November. The loan payment, based on 70% of the anticipated BPS 2018 payment value, has seen an additional £23.1m paid to over 1,200 farm businesses.
