Prime Minister Ludovic Orban underscored, during the consultations on Wednesday carried out with representatives of sheep breeders' associative structures, alongside Agriculture Minister Adrian Oros, that he endorses "investments and increased access to European funding" for this zootechnical sector.
"Moreover, the consultations also targeted the national strategic programme for 2021-2027, which should include investments with positive effects in the agriculture area, coupled support in the zootechnical sector, the granting of subsidies, the relaunch of sheep exports and the presence of agricultural attaches in importing countries where there is a fairly high demand for these products, for the opening of new export markets," the post reads.
In this context, Agriculture Minister Oros gave assurances that the recovery sheep herds programmes will continue to meet some "selection objectives" in view of improving meat and milk production.
