According to the ministry’s statement, when announcing the investment of Master Good Kft., the minister reported that the domestically owned poultry processing company is implementing a capacity expansion worth 72 billion forints, for which the government is providing 22 billion forints of support, thus contributing to the creation of six hundred new jobs.

In his speech, he underlined that the company accounts for about half of Hungarian poultry processing, and their products are sold in a similar proportion on foreign markets, which proportion will now continue to increase.

“And since the majority of suppliers are Hungarian, small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the area “Enterprises also have a huge opportunity with Master Good’s large investment”

– he pointed out.

He explained that the industrial production of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County has increased two and a half times in ten years, its value exceeded 1,800 billion forints last year, while unemployment has been reduced by half. This – as he said – is also due to the fact that during this time 121 large investments were implemented here with state support, worth a total of 1,700 billion forints and creating 15,000 jobs.

Péter Szijjártó emphasized that the food industry is considered a strategic sector in Hungary, in which both old traditions and extremely strict safety regulations are present.

He explained that in our country today they can produce twice as many food products as the population consumes, and he set an important goal of achieving the highest possible level of self-sufficiency.

And in this regard, he noted that over the past ten years 295 large food industry investment was created in Hungary, and the sector’s production value reached 7,000 billion forints last year.

“We are committed to protecting Hungarian food industry players, which is why you could see that we have protested and continue to protest vehemently against the entry into force of the European Union free trade agreement with South American countries (…) As long as you see us, you can be sure that we will not give up on the interests of farmers and that we will not allow the free trade agreement between the EU and Latin America to enter into force” – he stated.

The minister then touched on the successive crises of the past decade and a half, and welcomed the fact that despite all these difficulties, the Hungarian economy its actors were capable of very serious feats. He highlighted that Hungarian family-owned companies also played a significant role in this, which have now become extremely strong, especially in the food industry.

“Despite the international waves crashing over our heads, we still managed to introduce Europe’s lowest labor taxes, Europe’s lowest utility costs and created one million new jobs“

– he listed.

At the same time, he also warned that in such a fragile period, the results achieved with great difficulty could easily be jeopardized due to the many uncertainties.

“That is why we must be very careful with sudden movements and being captivated by the charm of novelty, and in this case, we must not abandon the well-trodden, familiar path.
