HCC also maintains a website, Porc.Wales. This highlights the availability of pork from Wales and maintains a presence on the main social media channels. Point of sale promotional material with recipe suggestions is produced and has proved very popular with retailers and the consumer. The peak of the campaign is in the run up to Christmas.

An extensive social media campaign will be conducted to increase awareness of the product, engage with consumers, provide recipes suggestions, drive traffic to the Porc.Wales website and promote the availability of pork from Wales by signposting local producers.

Lesley Griffiths: The key objectives of this year’s event, attended by over 160 women, was to: establish new regional Farming Connect Women in Agriculture Forums; inform the development of the Welsh Government’s new agricultural policy post Brexit; inform the development of a programme of activity tailored to support women in agriculture; and provide networking opportunities and ongoing support for women in the industry.

Following on from the event, three regional Women in Agriculture Forums have taken place, in Conwy, Lampeter and Brecon.  The groups discussed the development on an agricultural policy for Wales post Brexit. The regional groups will be meeting again in March to finalise their thinking before submitting their work to me.  The regional forums will be encouraged to form Agrisgôp groups. A fully-funded action learning programme, Agrisgôp brings together forward-thinking, like-minded individuals from farm and forestry businesses at a local level. Based on the concept of Action Learning, Agrisgôp provides the opportunity to develop skills and build confidence.

In addition to the regional forums, the Farming Connect programme also delivers a leadership programme via the Agri Academy. The Agri Academy has proved to be hugely successful in the promotion and nurturing of future leaders and entrepreneurs. The latest intake  included the highest ever proportion of female students and it is important that Welsh Government and the agriculture sector recognises and nurtures both  young men and young women as the industry’s  future senior leaders.

Gofyn i Gomisiwn y Cynulliad

Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy): Beth oedd y costau llawn i Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru a oedd yn gysylltiedig ag ystyried pob Bil a gyflwynwyd yn ystod tymor y Pedwerydd Cynulliad, o pan gawsant eu cyflwyno tan gyfnod olaf pob un? (WAQ71894)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 24 Ionawr 2017

Suzy Davies AC ar ran Comisiwn y Cynulliad: Nid oes gan Gomisiwn y Cynulliad wybodaeth am gostau llawn i Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru a oedd yn gysylltiedig ag ystyried pob Bil a gyflwynwyd yn ystod tymor y Pedwerydd Cynulliad, o pan gawsant eu cyflwyno tan gyfnod olaf pob un.

Mae'r Comisiwn yn darparu amrywiaeth o wasanaethau i Aelodau a Phwyllgorau i gefnogi'r broses ddeddfwriaethol. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys cefnogaeth drefniadol, cyfreithiol, ymchwil, cyfathrebu, TGCh, cyfieithu ar y pryd, cyfieithu a gweinyddol yn ogystal â gwasanaethau sy'n delio â'r cyhoedd fel ymgysylltu ag ymwelwyr a diogelwch.

Er y gellir nodi rhai costau penodol ar gyfer darnau penodol o ddeddfwriaeth (er enghraifft, pan gafodd lleoliad allanol ei logi ar gyfer gwaith ymgysylltu yn ymwneud â gwaith craffu ar Fil), mae mwyafrif helaeth y costau yn ymwneud ag amser Aelodau'r Cynulliad a staff y Comisiwn a staff Aelodau a oedd yn ymwneud â gwaith craffu Bil. Mae staff ac Aelodau, wrth gwrs, yn cymryd rhan ym mhob agwedd ar waith seneddol ac nid yw'n bosibl dadgyfuno'n gywir yr elfennau a neilltuwyd ar gyfer craffu yn unig.
