The weak forint mitigated the decline of pork exports

Most of the pigs were transported to Slovakia and Romania in this year's first quarter. The report of the Central Statistical Office (KSH) shows that 17 percent more Hungarian pigs were exported than a year earlier. The live pig imports were nearly 22 percent below the amount of the previous year. Meanwhile, the pigmeat exports declined by 12 percent. Income from exports did not reduce in the same proportion; only a 2.6 percent decline occurred, due to the weak forint.   (by our colleague)
