How an Independent Wales will do it better 3.

Agriculture

The land mass of Wales is almost 90% farmland , so it should be making a major contribution to the nation's economy and needs.

The fact that agriculture in Wales is increasingly spoken about in terms of its cultural or environmental contribution is an indication of its failure to do so.

The dialogue around farming is more often couched in terms of sustaining the Welsh language and looking after the environment, than economic benefits.

The Welsh government points to the data showing that 43% of farm workers speak Welsh against the national average of 22%.

That’s a total of 21500 out of a national total of almost 700000. So hardly a policy deciding reason..

So it must be filling a need. Providing the domestic consumers with the produce they need.

This too is questionable.
