Food sovereignty is also supported by the Food Industry Champion Program

The head of the ministry spoke about how the government spent significant resources on food industry subsidies in recent years, with which it tried to increase competitiveness and reduce the decades-long international disadvantage. He emphasized that this program now provides a new opportunity to strengthen the Hungarian food industry and put it on a new foundation. “And with this, we can provide Hungarian families with more safe, high-quality food produced from domestic ingredients,” explained the minister.

István Nagy emphasized, “an additional goal of the initiative is to create an integration that covers the food chain, with which we can guarantee the safety of production and food supply in the long term. The program thus also supports farmers”.
