Conclusion
Agriculture plays a significant role in the Welsh economy, employing a higher percentage of the workforce in Wales than in other parts of the UK. However, the agriculture sector in Wales is dominated by large sub-sectors such as livestock production and dairy farming. At the same time it is characterised by relatively smaller farm holdings—many of which are family farms. Together this paints a picture of higher risk: a sector dependent on a narrower range of production and farms less resilient to economic shock.
