Sheep farmers have been able to apply for production-related support, which is decisive in the Common Agricultural Policy and of particular importance to Hungary, based on the number of ewes, for almost a decade, since 2015, and thus have direct access to financial resources. The Ministry of Agriculture continues to maintain the priority support for livestock farming in the Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan, including the strengthening of the sheep sector. A significant amount will be allocated to the development of livestock farms and the food industry, breeding tasks, animal welfare measures and gene conservation. The financial framework of the production-linked ewe support title will increase by 4 percent from 2025 with the involvement of additional resources.
