Hybu Cig Cymru - Meat Promotion Wales (HCC) have made changes to the levy rates for red meat in Wales which will apply from 1st April 2023.
The changes mean that from 1st April, levy rates will be increased in line with inflation meaning an additional 6p on the farmers’ levy for sheep and 2p for processors, and a proportionate 40p increase in the cattle levy for farmers, and 12p for processors.
This will be the first increase in Welsh red meat levy rates since 2011. HCC say that the changes will allow them to achieve enhanced marketing, supply chain efficiency and driving forward greater sustainability.
