Szijjártó inaugurates AJG Agrogép farm machine manufacturer in NE Hungary
In view of the war in Ukraine, all investments that boost the performance of Hungary’s agriculture are of strategic importance, Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Wednesday at the inauguration of the expansion of AJG Agrogép, a farm machine manufacturer in north-eastern Hungary.
At the event in Nyírtelek, Szijjártó praised the “excellent performance” of Hungary’s agriculture during the coronavirus pandemic, which hit a record 3,000 billion forints (€ 8.1 billion) and was free of supply interruptions, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
The government, bearing the war in mind, has made it mandatory to report exports of grain, and raised supplementary farm subsidies to 80 percent from 12.5 percent, he said.
The government supported AJG’s 565-million-forint investment with a 282 million grant, helping the company to preserve 130 jobs, he said.
In Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, 52 companies invested a total of 30 billion forints with the help of the government’s investment support scheme, which provided 13 billion in grants, thereby helping to save 12,000 jobs, he said.
Preserved in brine? Or canned? Or with lots of sugar, rather like a fruit preserve? Do tell us.
