Pontypridd farmer warns lamb prices mean 'substantial loss'

Farmers from Wales are joining a crisis summit with a warning the price they get for lamb has reached critically low levels.

They claim their share of lamb sold on the shelves has dropped from 60% to 50% in the last year.

There has already been one protest outside a supermarket with farmers unhappy New Zealand lamb is being sold at the height of the Welsh lamb season.

Retailers said they wanted customers to have high-quality, affordable produce.

Farmer Jonathan Huntley, based near Pontypridd, speaks to BBC Wales.
