Hungarian Government granted a support of HUF 1.46 billion by individual decision for the construction of the new slaughterhouse of the Bonafarm Group in Mohács, a project with a total budget of HUF 7.3 billion, Péter Szijjártó, State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade told journalists on Friday in Budapest.
He added that it is particularly important to develop the Hungarian pork sector in order to establish an export product base in the Hungarian food industry, because the lack of development in case of the slaughterhouses resulted in declining competitiveness of the sector. The decline in the number of pigs poses a significant challenge for the sector, that’s why the government adopted a swine strategy in 2012, he added.
