A huge part of Hungary’s EU funds are due to the common agricultural policy

More than 36 percent of the European Union’s funds coming to Hungary by 2020 are due to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union, Feldman Zsolt, Deputy Minister of State of the Ministry of Agriculture (FM) said at the National Sustainable Development Council’s (NFFT) meeting in Budapest.

The Deputy Minister of State underlined that the ministry considers the common agricultural policy is favorable for agricultural production and for the food industry.
