Supporting the role of fish ponds in maintaining natural values ​​at “TÓGAZDA” Fisheries Co., Ltd.”

Within the framework of the project MAHOP_PLUSZ-2.3.1-24-2024-00002, implemented with the support of the European Union and co-financed by Hungary, the non-refundable support of HUF 334.43 million disbursed over 5 years compensates for the loss of production caused by water birds of prey and otters. In order to maintain the balance of the ecosystem of wetlands, the fish stock we have planted is necessary, which, in addition to the economic benefit, serves as food for other participants in the habitat.

The aim of the project is to We successfully breed freshwater fish in maintained fish ponds with maximum protection of environmental factors in order to serve Hungarian consumers

The main objective of the call for proposals MAHOP Plusz-2.3.1-2024, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture within the framework of the Széchenyi Plan Plusz, entitled “Supporting the role of fish ponds in maintaining natural values”, coincides with the goals of our enterprise. The 334.43 million forints disbursed within the framework of the five-year target program compensates for the fry and fish consumed by the waterfowl and otter population in the maintained wetlands on approximately 1,700 hectares in 6 counties. Support is lifeblood for freshwater fish farming, which is becoming less and less profitable due to hectic water flows and high feed prices. The ecological balance maintained in our fish ponds greatly contributes to the achievement of Hungarian and European environmental protection objectives. In addition, extensive fish farming significantly improves water quality which also serves to protect the domestic water base. The project will close on December 31, 2027.
