Czerván: strengthening cattle sector, increasing milk production

The cattle sector can be strengthened with proper preparation after the existing milk quota system of the EU will be terminated from 2015, which determines the amount of milk that can be produced by member countries per year – the Minister of State responsible for agriculture told MTI.

The sector in recent years, used only around 80 percent of the available milk quota of 2.1 billion kilograms, but is expected that after the termination of the market limits, Hungary can compete well – Czerván György told. Although the budget of EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will decline in 2014-2020, Hungary still receive almost 2 billion euros more than in the current period. (MTI)
