Magosz wins chamber elections

At the end of November the members of the Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture (NAK) were voting: from the approximately 360,000 NAK members 47,696 turned up. No less than 88.3 percent of the votes were cast on the joint list of the Association of Hungarian Farmers’ Societies and Cooperatives (Magosz) and their 17 supporter organisations. The National Association of Agricultural Cooperatives and Producers (MOSZ) won 11.7 percent of the votes.
MAGOSZ president István Jakab opined that the sector stands united. He added that the agri-food industry will have to face big challenges in the next 20 years. NAK president Balázs Győrffy told that in the next 5 years several very important problems would have to be sold, e.g. irrigation, better legislative environment, easier access to EU funding, distribution of subsidies, etc.
Magosz and its 17 supporting organisations sent their representatives to the new county general assemblies, which formed on 23-25 November 2017. Back in May 2017 NAK’s national-level assembly decided that they would make the chamber’s operations more effective by reducing the number of departments from 15 to 9 after the autumn elections. The presidents of these have also been elected – for a 5-year period. The new NAK national-level assembly will first meet on 20 December 2017 in the Parliament building in Budapest. //
