Another campaign for increasing pork consumption

In order to compensate for the many hardships the Hungarian pig farming sector is facing, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Agricultural Marketing Centre (AMC) and the Hungarian Meat Industry Federation started a campaign for popularising pork consumption – it was announced at a press conference on 25 August.

State secretary for agriculture and rural development Zsolt Feldman told: in 2020 the government gave an extra HUF 1.2-billion funding to the sector because of the pandemic, plus they finance more than 100 development projects with HUF 77 billion. Hungary’s per capita pork consumption rose from 24-25kg to more than 30kg since 2013. //
