Overview
Thanks to Hungary’s unique natural characteristics, the conditions for agriculture are favourable in the country. Therefore, the sector is very diverse and plays an important role in the national economy. Around 60% of Hungarian farms produce livestock - mainly poultry, pig, sheep and cattle - whereas crop production is focused not only on major field crops, but also on fruit and vegetables.
Goal and strategy
Hungary’s strategy is aimed at supporting the economy of its rural areas and putting them on a path of sustainable development, while taking advantage of the opportunities offered by modern technologies. The Plan seeks to contribute to creating job opportunities and making living conditions in rural areas attractive. It also aims to make agricultural production, including the production of quality food, a profitable and a socially recognised activity. Furthermore, the Plan aims to ensure the security of food supply for the population, while at the same time significantly improving the environmental conditions and contributing to the renewal of natural resources.
