Wales sheep industry in wipe out warning

The sheep industry in Wales could be "wiped out" within two years, the body promoting Welsh meat has warned.

Meat Promotion Wales (Hybu Cig Cymru) chairman Rees Roberts wants supermarkets to pay producers more, said a BBC report.

Speaking at the first day of the Royal Welsh Winter Fair in Llanelwedd, Powys, Roberts said farmers would face an "economic meltdown".

The British Retail Consortium, which represents supermarkets, said it was a huge supporter of the industry.
