AM: Government encourages the restart of livestock farming with compensation once the danger has passed
The government’s priority goal is to stop the foot-and-mouth disease virus as soon as possible and to compensate the affected farmers. After the exemption, once the danger has passed, it is important to encourage the replacement of the livestock that has been forced to be liquidated, thus helping livestock farmers to continue their activities – the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) told MTI on Thursday evening.

In its statement, the AM wrote that livestock farming is a national strategic sector, and in addition to supporting it, the government is also committed to the extraordinary situation caused by foot-and-mouth disease. A high priority is to encourage those affected to quickly restore their activities and to provide assistance to prevent infection. The government prefers and supports restocking with all its might in order to enable farmers to continue their livestock farming activities at the level that existed before the infection. “Of course, once the danger has passed in the affected farms, in addition to implementing the appropriate quarantine protection protocol, the government supports the repopulation of livestock and the epidemiological development of livestock farms,” the statement says, adding that the goal is to restart farming on cattle farms affected by foot-and-mouth disease as soon as possible. The relevant government decree will enter into force the day after its publication, thus ensuring quick measures.
In addition, the government will assume the salaries of workers on infected livestock farms from the state wage guarantee
In addition, the government is also helping farmers affected by foot-and-mouth disease with a loan moratorium. According to this, the principal and interest repayments of all affected livestock farmers will be suspended for one year. This is important because investments and developments were carried out on all affected farms, and loans were used for these. The loan moratorium also serves the purpose of allowing all plants to restart, which is very important for the Hungarian national economy, the Ministry of Finance said.
