Hungarian Cabinet Considers Pig Farming Strategy
- 15 Aug 2012 9:00 AM
The Rural Development Ministry has prepared a strategy for pig farming to be discussed by the cabinet, state secretary Zsolt V. Nemeth said. The ministry advocates integration, interest subsidies for working capital loans and a revision of environmental regulations.
Pig farming is inefficient, Nemeth said, as the technology and fodder are outdated.
Moreover, there are no optimal size farms, he added.
The number of pigs in Hungary has fallen from over 5 million in 2002 to below 3 million.
