The government is actively helping to make this year’s harvest a success, yet some grape-buying wineries offer an unworthy and market-unreasonably low price for grapes. Unfair purchasing companies with grape growers do not deserve development funds, Feldman Zsolt, Secretary of State for Agriculture and Rural Development said, according to a statement from the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) published on Monday.

The government can also use regulatory tools to ensure a fair purchase price

The Secretary of State explained that the harvest control program launched in the autumn of 2019 by the National Council of Mountain Communities in cooperation with the National Food Chain Safety Office will continue this year, with the aim of comprehensively controlling the reality of the reported harvest data.
