-..former CEO of Sainsbury's... | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
-..following Brexit, the food on our -shelves will be lower in standard... | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
-..more expensive -and there will be less choice... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-..unless a strong strategy -is implemented. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-What are the thoughts of those -who work in the food industry? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |

-Is he concerned about the future? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
-I'd say that Brexit's -had an impact on products already. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
-The costs of products -has risen 3-5% in the past year. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
-Butter's increased by 88%. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |

-They're still spending -but they're buying less. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
-What's your response -to the words of Sir Justin King? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
-This is an opportunity -for us in Wales... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-..to do something about it. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
-The pound is weak against the Euro. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
-Products are costing more. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-Local producers should be supplying -their products to local shops. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
-It's a huge opportunity. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-Ffor near Pwllheli is home -to the South Caernarfon Creamery. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
-It's a cooperative dairy company. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-Over the past year, -they've recorded record profits... | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
-..a little over 3m compared -to 389,000 the previous year. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:35 | |
-It's the result -of many years of hard work... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-..not just the past 12 months. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-Last year, the dairy sector -improved greatly... | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
-..from the summer onwards. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
-We've been busy -with two important projects. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-We also have -some excellent customers. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-This is the result -of many different factors. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-What's the future of -the cheese that you produce here? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-There's good demand for our produce. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
-We know how we'll grow -and which customers we'll deal with. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
-We're very clear -about the direction we're heading. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-We've seen that cheese imports -into this country have fallen 20%. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
-People must be buying more British -cheese than they were before. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
-We export about 5% -of our Dragon branded cheese... | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-..to places like -Cyprus, Malta and America. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-Certainly after Brexit, -we can identify more opportunities. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:45 | |
-Our hope is to grow our business -by 20%. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-So, it's up to producers -in this country... | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
-..to make the best -of this situation. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
-Precisely. It is up to us. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
-The future is in our hands, -as dairy producers and processors. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:05 | |
-For me, it's an exciting future. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
-Conwy butcher and businessman Ieuan -Edwards is expanding his company. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
-As well as selling from his shop -on the high street... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-..he also sells to supermarkets. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-80 people are employed by him. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-Two million sausages -are made here every month. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:29 | |
-At the moment, we're growing -annually, I'm happy to say. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
-We're well supported -across Great Britain. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
-We don't export that much -at the moment... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-..but it's something -we can look into. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
-We do export to Kuala Lumpur, -Hong Kong and Malaysia. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
-We do sell -some of our products there. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-How do you see things developing -for you... | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-..in the current political climate? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
-We need to be pioneering as a -food industry in Wales and Britain. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
-We should look for new markets -in China. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-1.2bn people live there. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
-They eat more protein now -than they did 40 years ago. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-They're up to 50 kilos per person -a year, a kilo a week... | 0:06:17 | 0:06:23 | |
-..but they're behind countries -like Taiwan who are around 85kgs... | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
-..and America at 90-95kgs of meat -per person, per year. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:35 | |
-We expect an increase in China -as the country becomes wealthier. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:42 | |
-They already eat -50% of the world's pork there... | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
-..and 20% of the world's protein -as a whole. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
-There are opportunities and it's -important that the politicians... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
-..try and agree deals right now. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
-When Brexit hits us, we will still -have markets beyond Europe. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:06 | |
-Another example would be America. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
-Try and get meat into America - -impossible... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
-..but it's possible to buy -plenty of American meat... | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
-..USDA beef, in this country. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-Why does that situation exist? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-Where are our politicians? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
-They're in the middle of -negotiations with President Trump. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-Are they talking about this? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-Is there an opportunity for farmers -in the current political climate? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
-There's a huge opportunity -for farmers to diversify... | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
-..following Brexit. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-They can supply products -for our own market. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
-It's a great opportunity. Our glass -is half-full, not half-empty. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:53 | |
-I can see an opportunity -for producers and processors. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
-As a country, we import more -dairy products than we export. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
-There's an opportunity here -for everyone to increase... | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
-..and add value to our markets. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
-I see it as more -of an opportunity than a threat. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
-It's important that we are confident -about the future. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
-We should be looking ahead, -not down. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-The market is there if we go for it. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-It's time for a break. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |

-Over the past year, a lot of events -have been organised... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
-..by the host county to raise -awareness and money for the show. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
-Alun attended an open day -in Carmarthenshire. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
-Whichever agricultural show -you attend... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-..you'll see an increase -in horse numbers. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-That's reflected -in the social changes that arise... | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-..from more spare time, -the interest in riding... | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
-..and the general interest -in rural life. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-As part of Carmarthenshire's -campaign to raise funds... | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
-..a tour was organised around -three of the county's stud farms... | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
-..starting at the Glyncoch Stud -in Pwlltrap, St Clear's. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
-The owners are Alan and Jan Pearce -and Adrian Bowen. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:59 | |
-It's gone surprisingly well, -it's one of those things. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-We've had bad weather leading up to -it and the weather's come so good. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
-The gate has just said -we've had over 400 people. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-Got people from all parts of the UK, -Holland, Germany and Belgium. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:18 | |
-I understand that -you're building up the numbers. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-We've always had mountain ponies. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
-We're building up the Section C -and Welsh Cobs. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-We've had a Royal Welsh winner -in two sections. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
-Hopefully, we'll have a winner -in the pony and cob type soon. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
-The Royal Welsh is everybody's No.1. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-From one end of the county -to the other. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-The second stud farm -is Heniarth near Ferryside. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
-I think the fact that many -foreigners made the trip to Wales... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:56 | |
-..is testimony to their passion -for the cobs and the ponies. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:02 | |
-It's a passport for us -to travel around the world. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
-How important -is the Welsh Cob overseas? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
-It's a very popular, -the Welsh mountain pony... | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
-..all throughout the country. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-The export market -it opens up is tremendous. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-The Royal Welsh -brings everyone together... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-..and creates a huge atmosphere -amongst the breeders. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
-Following on from Brexit... | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
-..do you have concerns -about your European markets... | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-..in the same way as the cattle -and sheep sector are concerned? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
-There's one primary difference. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-The horse isn't a commercial animal. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
-This is an opportunity -for the Government. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-If they committed -to giving horses... | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
-..the same status -as cattle and sheep... | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
-..as they do in Ireland, they show -support in respect of taxes... | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
-..that's why their horse racing -industry is so successful. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
-There's an opportunity -for the Government... | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-..to see how horses contribute -to the Welsh economy. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-There's a small window -of opportunity for them here... | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-..if they're able to grab it. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-What we have to share -and sell around the world. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-You won't find anything better -anywhere. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-After visits to St Clear's -and Ferryside... | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
-..the Cothi Valley is the final -stop, at the Eglwysfach Stud... | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
-..at Troedyrhiw Farm, Harford, -near Pumsaint. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
-Elgan Evans -welcomes the crowds today. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
-As a child, I'd visit Mam-gu -and Tad-cu during the holidays. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
-They farmed on the Black Mountain -near Llyn y Fan. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
-We used to ride horses -on the farm during a time... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-..when there were no farm bikes. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
-Everyone rode horses. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-I was like John Wayne -on top of the Black Mountain. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
-A time came when I started -showing an interest in cobs. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
-We kept cobs on the mountains -and it grew from there. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
-We've won in the Royal Welsh Show. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
-I've been lucky to win a gold medal -in the Royal Welsh Show. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
-I've enjoyed showing the cobs. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-How do the cobs -fit into the rest of your business? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
-You have several strings -to your bow. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
-As you know, we're farmers. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
-We have 300 sheep -and we have 30 suckler cows. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:44 | |
-I also have -a hay and silage business too. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-I sell it from these lorries. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
-It's a family farm. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
-The family help out -in everything we do. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-I couldn't look after them -without my wife's help. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
-The children get involved too. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
-What gives me the greatest pleasure, -as you saw earlier... | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
-..the grandchildren -were riding out in the arena. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
-That's something -that was well worth seeing. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
-For me, once you own a Welsh Cob, -it's worse than drinking or smoking! | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
-You can't shake it off. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
-Horses are an important part of the -Carmarthenshire campaign this year. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
-The ambassador commissioned a statue -of a horse to promote the show. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
-When I was interviewed -for the role of ambassador... | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-..I was asked about my ideas -for raising money. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-I thought about the rugby ball -in the wall at Cardiff Castle. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-It was a great promotion -which everyone talked about. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
-I thought about a statue -of a horse's head... | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
-..on Carmarthen town square. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
-Unfortunately, the council -planning office refused that idea... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
-..because it was a listed site. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
-We then decided to take it -on a trailer around the county. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-Are you looking forward to the show? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-Are you looking forward to the show? - -Very much, yes. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:16 | |

-Dad always said -we were going on holidays... | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
-..but we only went to the show. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-I feel as if I've given something -back to the farming community. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
-A good day for everyone involved. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |

-..but I think our sheep -were a better quality. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
-I think the girls -could start a contracting business. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
-It's better on the eye -to see a girl shearing a sheep. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |

-It's different to the day job -but the pressure is the same! | 0:21:35 | 0:21:40 | |
-I haven't sheared for 35 years but -I could still remember how to do it. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:47 | |

-I wouldn't be where I am now without -the support of the Llanwenog club. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
-It's a priceless institution... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-..and it's where -I also learned how to shear. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
