Change language:
Hungary will start exporting meat products to the Philippines before the end of February, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said after talks with Ramon M. Lopez, trade and industry minister of the Philippines, in Budapest on Thursday.
Szijjártó told a press conference after the talks that three Hungarian industrial meat companies had received export licences and another seven companies had asked the government for help in obtaining export rights.
The starting point for cooperation in agricultural research is that Hungary is the only state in Europe in which GMOs are constitutionally banned, he said, adding that the Philippines wanted to import Hungarian farming machinery and technology.
The minister also emphasised the importance of water management cooperation and the fact that the disaster management authority in the Philippines had decided to order Hungarian water purification equipment. The Philippines is in need of water purification technologies, and the full water supply of a 10,000-strong locality is provided thanks to Hungarian equipment, he said.
