Livestock farmers have a major role to play in the agricultural sector – Minister of Agriculture Fazekas Sándor said on Friday in Kaposvár at the opening ceremony of Hungarian Horse Breeding Days.
In his speech, the minister drew attention to the importance of financial resources in addition to the potential of animal husbandry.

He explained that among the EU Member States the share of cattle has increased with the largest extent in Hungary in recent years, while the economic performance of the poultry sector has increased by a quarter in the 2010-2016 period, which is the seventh largest growth in the Union. (MTI)
