There will be plenty of fish available for Christmas

Buyers of domestic fish contribute to the survival of the sector

The head of the ministry emphasized that the Christmas period is decisive in domestic fish consumption. According to estimates, fish producers sell 40 percent of the annual dairy food volume at this time, and in the case of some large fish producers, the Christmas fish sale accounts for even 60-70 percent of the annual turnover, he pointed out.

István Nagy explained that in the past period agriculture, including fish farming, faced extraordinary challenges. In addition to the epidemic, they also had to deal with the consequences of the drought and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, as well as the failed Brussels sanctions.
