The Chamber of Agriculture promotes the consumption of local products

According to the announcement, the NAK and the Hungarian National Rural Network (MNVH) held “Local products” events in eight cities: after the four in the spring, at four more locations in October, with the cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Food Chain Safety Office and the Small Scale Association. In connection with the spring events, NAK has collected several exemplary farms, good practices, and answers to current questions in a publication.

Among the good practices presented here are, among others, into the Pot!; Minden emik Szatmár-Bereg and Pannonhalma Provence as well

The first company supplies customers with pre-portioned and prepared ingredients completely ready for the kitchen. The second is an office operating in Mátészalka, which advertises the county’s values, the tourism opportunities of the countryside, introduces its artisans and small producers, helps to collect the cultural treasures and values of the local communities and make them known. In the third example, the NAK presents the Pannonhalma Provence, where visitors can pick lavender seasonally, who can occasionally buy from local and surrounding producers under the lavender at the Experience Market and at workshops. The NAK recalls that the presentations of the event series also pointed out the need to increase the production of locally produced products and the sale of the producers’ products through short supply chains, be it regional, community sales, or a well-functioning regional market. With local products, the transportation route of food can be reduced, and the producer, the processor and the consumer are not only physically “close” to each other, but also develop a relationship of trust between them – stressed the NAK.
