Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability (Llyr Gruffydd)
Wales is part of an aggregated UK and international food system and sources key ingredients from a range of suppliers. Many sourcing decisions are made through UK-wide supply chains. The Welsh Government is supporting sustainable food and working with retailers, manufacturers and other partners to strengthen our regional food chain and supply base. This will create opportunities for Welsh food and drink businesses, as we develop a National Food Strategy for Wales.
