The dairy sector calls for VAT reduction and increased controls

By the end of last year, the domestic dairy market has stabilized. The buying-in price of raw milk per kilogram exceeded 100 HUF, and developments have started at several processors.

At the same time the cheap import UHTs cause serious damage to the domestic dairy industry, therefore there is an urgent demand for the VAT reduction of ESL (extensive shelf-life) and UHT milks, as well as more stringent controls on unfair wholesalers – was said at the dairy sector meeting, organized by the National Agricultural Chamber.
