We are resolved to develop an approach to the agriculture sector in Scotland which results in its long-term sustainability and we are taking forward a range of measures designed to help.We have already provided substantial support to farmers, including £40 million paid to livestock farmers and £33 million in compensation for the relative weakness of the euro. For the longer term, we are promoting strategies to help the development of the sheep, milk and food sectors, and are consulting on proposals for a Rural Development Plan which will help to create a more sustainable future for the agriculture industry.
