The Hungarian Minister of Agriculture urged to help the beekeeping sector in Brussels

Minister of Agriculture Nagy István drew attention to the fact that the role of pollinators in both agricultural production and the food industry is unquestionable. Globally and in Europe, the mass extinction of wild pollinators, especially bee species, has become severe in recent years, and not only their numbers but also their diversity have declined. Lack of proper pollination simultaneously causes economic damage to farmers and rising food prices for consumers – the head of the ministry reminded. (MTI)
