Small butcher shops receive extraordinary support
The government is subsidizing small butcher shops with four and a half billion forints, Minister of Agriculture István Nagy announced.

The Ministry of Agriculture is aware of the difficulties affecting retail trade
The minister drew attention to the fact that despite the energy crisis caused by the Russo-Ukrainian war and the failed Brussels sanctions, and the difficult economic conditions, the government remains committed to supporting the Hungarian countryside and small towns. The Ministry of Agriculture is aware of the difficulties affecting retail, be it the effects of energy costs or sanctioned inflation. That is why the ministry is constantly investigating the possibilities that can provide assistance to the actors of the sector, he added.
István Nagy also touched on the fact that making basic services available at a higher quality and quantity will greatly increase the population retention power of small settlements. Among these, access to food plays an important role. This is ensured by the support of butcher shops operating as micro-enterprises, with the help of which it is possible to preserve these shops even in the face of current economic challenges. Stakeholders will be able to apply for a total of HUF 4.5 billion at the beginning of the year. According to the ministry’s plans, more than a thousand butcher shops can benefit from a subsidy of up to HUF 3 million per shop – the minister emphasized.
