Recommendation
We welcome the Agreement in Principle reached between the UK and Australian governments and await the final text of the free trade agreement (FTA). However, while the UK-Australia FTA is unlikely to have a significant impact on Wales in the short term, we are conscious of the concerns that exist within the Welsh agri- food sector. Farm businesses are already facing some uncertainty in the transition away from the EU system of farm payments and the changing trade environment. The UK Government and Welsh Government must work with the agri-food sector to ensure that UK producers have the skills and support needed to thrive in a new global trading environment.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government outlines its existing extensive engagement structures with the Devolved Administrations on trade agreements, but does not commit to specific actions for working directly with the agri-food sector to provide skills and support.
