The Ministry of Rural Development would reduce Hungary's vulnerability on the food market

Hungary's vulnerability on the food market must be reduced. The key would be self-sufficiency – said Czerván György, secretary of state of the Rural Development Ministry, responsible for agri-management on Friday in Tihany.

The Secretary underlined that the country is vulnerable in basic foods, such as sugar. The Government's goal, therefore, that there should be enough sugar on affordable prices. Hungary should also prepare for the chages of the current EU quota system after 2014. He stressed, that after the privatization only one out of the former 12 sugar factories operates in Hungary, owned by Agrana a foreign company – reports ProfitLine.hu, after MTI.
