Sponsoring an event hosted by NFU Cymru, local Assembly Member Paul Davies paid tribute to the hard work of Welsh farmers and high quality of produce produced in Wales every year. Mr Davies met with NFU Cymru members and agricultural industry representatives to celebrate the high quality of Welsh food at the Harvest festival event in the Senedd.

Mr Davies said "It was a privilege to sponsor this wonderful event. This event is a tribute to the farmers of Wales just as much as it is to their produce. Wales' reputation for fine food is a great acknowledgement of the hard work of farmers across the country.

"The importance of the food industry to the Welsh economy cannot be undervalued and food is not only crucial to our economy; it plays a key role in shaping our culture and national identity. This event was a great chance to acknowledge the importance of the food industry in Wales and to celebrate its produce. Given that agriculture is one of the main industries in my constituency, it is important that we promote hardworking farmers' efforts and celebrate their produce at every opportunity."
