From January, the Soproni Klasszikus (Soproni Classic) and the Soproni Frissen Csapolt (Soproni Freshly Tapped) beers will be made of exclusively Hungarian barley
The HEINEKEN Hungária and its suppliers have signed a commitment letter to the Ministry of Agriculture, under which the company will use exclusively Hungarian barley in the production of Hungary's most popular beer, the Soproni.
In addition to Joris Huijsmans CEO of HEINEKEN, Szakács Árpád the executive director of the AGROCROP Agricultural, Trade and Service Ltd. signed the commitment which was welcomed by Fazekas Sándor, Minister of Agriculture as well. The signing took place on 9 December 2015.
With this step, the HEINEKEN Hungária becomes the user of the fifth of the high quality Hungarian malting barley, providing secure livelihoods and an adequate foundation for the further development of nearly 100 domestic malting barley growers and suppliers.
