Fish production: the target is 30 thousand tons

The task is to increase the current annual 20 thousand tons of fish production in Hungary to 30 thousand tons gradually. EU support can be also used as well – Bardócz Tamás Head of the Forestry, Fishing and Hunting Department of the Rural Development Ministry told MTI.

According to Bardócz Tamás the EU in the period between 2014-2020, puts a big emphasis to boost freshwater fish production, (ie aquaculture) as the EU’s fish production can not keep up with the market demands. Half of the 16 of 23 kilograms of average fish consumption arrives from Norway, South America and Asia. (MTI)
