Our genetic resources for agricultural purposes, domestic farm animal species and breeds, whose discovery, preservation and maintenance are in the common interest of all of us, are also our national heritage of great importance, parts of our identity and symbols of Hungary. The tender announced for the in situ support for native animals also serves this purpose. The Secretary of State announced that decisions may be made in cases where administrative and on-site inspections have already been completed. The aim of both the Ministry and the Paying Agency is for livestock farmers to access the funds awarded to them as soon as possible, thereby helping to implement sustainable agricultural activities. The non-refundable support, which helps to preserve and maintain animal breeds of high genetic value and valuable from a domestic agricultural point of view – such as Hungarian grey or Hungarian spotted cattle, buffalo, mangalica, certain horse, goat and sheep breeds, and poultry – could be applied for by those farmers who voluntarily undertake to keep endangered agricultural and breed reconstruction agricultural animal breeds in their original habitat, in their natural environment, and to implement the related obligations. The calls and the related information materials and annexes can be found on the thematic website of the Ministry of Agriculture, at https://kap.gov.hu.
