Ministry
of Agriculture
of Hungary
The Ministry of Agriculture of Hungary is responsible for a range of specialised areas. The Ministry’s main goals are the sustainability and management of natural resources, the diversity of rural land use, and rural development.
Improving quality of life for rural communities and increasing the competitiveness of the agricultural, food production and rural economies are basic preconditions for improving the competitiveness of the Hungarian economy as a whole. This goal requires a reinforcement of the rural and local economies and communities, as well as the expansion of job opportunities and income generation.
The Ministry also formulates government measures that relate to rural development, and supervises food retail chains, environmental protection, and agricultural economy. It creates the conditions for the safe and high-quality production and distribution of food products.
