Thank you for contacting me about unfair import competition for Welsh farmers.
The Welsh Conservatives have always been supportive of Welsh farmers, and will continue to fight for them, but this cannot be said for Labour.
Along with the Welsh Government’s Sustainable Farming Scheme and anti-farming agenda, the new family farm death tax means we now have two Labour Governments on each end of the M4 working in tandem to destroy farming in Wales.
In our Welsh manifesto for July’s General Election, we vowed to ensure that all food and drink products imported into the UK, including those from countries we have trade agreements with, are compliant with the UK’s very high standards. The Conservatives will always support British agriculture in our trade deals.
The Welsh Conservatives were proud to stand with the thousands who attended the farming protest in Cardiff and we will always stand up for our rural communities. We understand that farmers have been the custodians of our countryside for generations, protecting it for the future.
Once again, thank you for raising this issue with me.
