O safbwynt y dyfodol, bydd angen i ni asesu canlyniadau mwy hirdymor y tywydd diweddar i sector da byw Cymru, ac yn arbennig y farchnad ŵyn. Bydd angen i ni a’r diwydiant fonitro’r sefyllfa ehangach o ran y porthiant sydd ar gael ar draws Cymru gan fod y cyfleoedd pori wedi dod yn hwyr iawn eleni. Eto i gyd mae nifer o randdeiliaid wedi pwysleisio i mi dros y bythefnos ddiwethaf fod angen i ni hefyd ystyried gallu’r sector ffermio i wrthsefyll tywydd o’r fath ynghyd ag argyfyngau eraill a allai godi o bryd i’w gilydd. Mae hyn oll yn ymwneud â hyfywedd ariannol hirdymor y sector a’i gynaliadwyedd, ac yn arbennig yn ein hucheldiroedd.
With regard to the future, we will need to assess the longer-term consequences of the recent weather for the Welsh livestock sector and particularly for the lamb market.  Together with the industry we will also need to monitor the wider situation on availability of feed across Wales, given that opportunities for grazing have already been significantly delayed this year.  But, as a number of stakeholders have said to me in the last fortnight, we also need to review the farming sector’s ability to withstand weather events of this sort, and other emergencies that from time to time arise.  This in turn plays into the long-term financial viability and wider sustainability of the sector, particularly in our uplands.
