Unique Hungarian meat products to hit the European market

A Hungarian farmer may sell his products abroad as well.

Dezső Szomor established his farm by first buying animals off the slaughterhouse right before they would have been killed. In 1993, he won the lease tenders for the areas of the Kiskunság National Park, where he has been working ever since. – writes hellovidek.hu.  Over the past 23 years, Szomor only kept Hungarian animal breeds on the land, such as the grey cattle.

The farmer may have 2,500 – 3,000 grey cattle on the land. Ironically, however, the animals do not have a profitable value alive, so the farmer sells them as meat products.

“It took a decade and a half for the cattle breeding project, which started as a hobby, to finally become a real business. Until then, the breeding – the yearly selling of 20-30 animals from the bull farm jointly established with the Kiskunság National Park – only covered the expenses” – Agrárszektor quoted Dezső Szomor.

He has high hopes for his business. He wants to cross the breeds so that they would produce higher quality meat, thus making the meat he sells popular in other European countries as well. Furthermore, in order to reconstruct the wetland, Szomor and his business partner made a 250 hectares fish lake.
