The livelihoods of at least one million agricultural producers, employees and their relatives depend on agricultural grants partly or in their entirety, and therefore it is crucial that their current level is maintained also beyond 2020 and farmers receive them in full, Minister of Agriculture by Hungary Sándor Fazekas said.

The Minister of Agriculture also said that, thanks to EU and national grants, since 2010 some 72,000 new jobs have come into being in the food economy; agriculture and the food industry are providing a secure living for ever more families. While farmers are the recipients of grants, buyers are equally beneficiaries of these funds as – thanks to these grants – they have access to healthy, high-quality and safe foodstuffs at reasonable prices, the Minister said.
