In order to address the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic in the short and medium term, the Hungarian grape and wine sector has decided to support wineries interested in hospitality and wine tourism and significantly increase funding for the state wine marketing program, said Agriculture Minister Nagy István.

In addition to the new calf legislation to reduce administrative burdens and increase the efficiency of controls, it is also important to provide financial assistance to the sector, the head of the ministry added in the statement.
Nagy István emphasized that the Covid pandemic did not affect the wineries equally, and overall the wine stocks are lower than last year’s level and the long-term average, but some wine producers may still have accumulated larger quantities of wine. (MTI)
