Hungary Can Only Support CAP Rules That Take the Interests of Hungarian Farmers into Account
Published
According to reports from the Trade magazine, Szabolcs Bóna stated that Hungary can only support an agreement on the regulation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for 2028 to 2034 that takes the interests of Hungarian farmers into account. The CAP is one of the most important policies of the European Union and is also decisive for Hungarian agriculture, since a significant part of the subsidies helps farmers' revenues.
According to the information, the negotiations concern the rules for the new seven-year budget period. A brief summary of the article states that the Hungarian position is that the regulation must contain principles that protect the situation of domestic producers. However, the full details were not available in the source material, so only limited information is known about the specific proposals and deadlines.
The CAP reform generally attracts the interest of several EU member states, because the common support system affects production costs, competitiveness and the development of rural areas. For Hungary, it is therefore important that the new rules be predictable and not disadvantageous for smaller and medium-sized farms.
In the coming months, further consultations are expected to take place between the EU institutions and the member states. Farmers and professional organisations are following the negotiations closely, because the final decision will determine the operating conditions of Hungarian agriculture in the long term.
