The Hungarian government is bolstering its pork sector through significant development funding and campaigns to boost consumption, as stated by Zsolt Feldman, Secretary of State for Agriculture. Nearly 450 pig farmers have benefited from the Rural Development Program, leading to an increase in the pig population and anticipated higher slaughter rates. The government is also promoting the nutritional benefits of pork to encourage local consumption, despite competition from imported pork, urging consumers to support domestic farmers to sustain the sector's growth.
