Hungary is committed to domestic and global food security

Oszkár Ökrös emphasized that Hungary actively supports the operation of the solidarity corridors established by the European Commission to accelerate the export of Ukrainian agricultural goods. We still consider the role of solidarity corridors important, but at the same time, attention must be paid to the original goal of the initiative, to ensure that Ukrainian agricultural products reach the traditional destination countries without causing market disruptions in the EU member states – pointed out the deputy state secretary.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of an event presenting the results of an expert review organized by Hungary’s OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC). As a result of our country’s obligation to be a member of the OECD DAC, the expert review took place in 2022, in the framework of which the review group visited Hungary and held consultations with relevant government actors and key partners involved in the development and implementation of the development policy, as well as representatives of the relevant civil sphere.
