Amidst market difficulties, conscious purchasing is becoming more valuable, and the survival of milk production may now depend on more people choosing Hungarian dairy products – the Minister of Agriculture said in his video message on Wednesday.

István Nagy asked consumers on his social media page to buy domestically produced milk and dairy products due to the milk crisis. Unfortunately, the milk crisis does not want to ease, purchase prices are still low, and now exports to Arab countries are also encountering difficulties due to the Iranian war. The complaints of cow farmers have reached the government, negotiations have begun with traders, but conscious buyers are also needed for a real solution – he added.

The Minister emphasized that dairy farmers can continue to count on the government’s help in everything

Köröstej Kft., for example, requested help to continue to be able to purchase milk intended for export from Hungarian suppliers. In the current situation, the milk vending machine purchase subsidy is also particularly important, for which applicants have already received notifications, so they can start investing. The largest cow farmers received advance payments in order to have cash resources in the midst of difficulties. The amount paid out has reached 32 billion forints in recent days – István Nagy announced.
