Freshwater fish farmers continue to count on EU funding

The Ministry of Agriculture is working to retain the support level of freshwater aquaculture in the next EU development cycle – Ugron Ákos Gábor, Deputy Minister of State, responsible for State Land Resources told in Szarvas on Thursday.

The Minister of State of the Freshwater Aquaculture Conference, organized by the V4 group of countries, explained that Hungary can invest 43 million euros for the support of freshwater aquaculture and processing. Similar support level is expected for the period 2020-2027, but this requires serious negotiations, as due to the Brexit EU budget is expected to decrease. (MTI)
