According to the state secretary, further development in the food industry will see HUF 57 bln from the investment promotion allocation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs (MoE), HUF 78 bln from the Operational Program for Economic Development and Innovation (GINOP), nearly HUF 200 bln from the Rural Development Program for the development of micro and small enterprises, and non-refundable grants for many other operational programs (which can total up to HUF 300 bln).
