FM: almost 4 billion HUF to support dairy farmers

The dairy farmers receive nearly four billion HUF support this year. In addition to the extraordinary, 2.9 billion HUF EU agricultural subsidies, the government gives more than one billion HUF more support to the sector, which is the highest milk producer support of all time – Feldman Zsolt, Deputy Minister of State for the Ministry of Agriculture (FM), told M1 news channel on Thursday.

He recalled: Hungary will be given 2.9 billion HUF support from the European Union, which is much larger than Hungary’s role in milk production in Europe. The subsidies can be used to you support dairy farmers and pig producers.

The government has decided that since the first of January a Vat reduction will take place in the pig sector and an additional 8.5 billion HUF support package will also be launched, so the extra support will be given to the dairy farmers. (MTI)
