It is agreed that Hungary should acquire more sheep, specifically ewes. The introduction of friendlier, more fertile sheep will make the farmers -- and the sheep -- very happy. But where will Hungarian sheep farmers find these new additions to their flocks?

Based on the stipulated quota, Hungarian ewe population will be increased to 1 146 000, which is 30% more than in 2001. If the structure of the production remains unchanged, animal feeding will be provided by the 267 441 ha of pasture, 13 544 ha of meadows and 54 748 ha of stubble. More than 75% of the remaining Hungarian pasture can be used for other purposes. Since the quota concerns only the number of ewes, profit can be increased by more intensive technology like three lambing in two years, introduction of more fertile breeds, milking, etc. Flocks should be increased to a rational size, animal feeding can be secured by consolidating land ownership, motivating breeders to integrate in order to bring into line the quality of their products and to get a better price for them. The subsidy which can be provided under the EU is 46% higher than presently available and can help in the development of this sector.Publisher: Hrvatsko Agronomsko Društvo
