Fazekas Sándor: the share of animal husbandry should be increased within agriculture

The retail price of pork products may decline from January, because the VAT on pig meat will be reduced from 27 percent to 5 percent – Fazekas Sándor Minister of Agriculture told agrárszektor.hu.

Although agriculture was hit by a tough drought this year, the production of plants reached positive results overall, while the number of livestock has also increased. The EU and domestic subsidies also serve to improve the performance of livestock production, and to increase its share within the total agricultural production. (agrarszektor.hu)
