ECONOMIC CHANCES OF BUFFALO RANCHES IN HUNGARY

In Hungary only some ranches are dealing with keeping buffalos, so herd size is small. But this sector can be developed, even it may be profitable. Pastures as well as arable lands can be utilized for buffalos, with the same EU-subsidies as for cattles, so high quality meat and cheese can be produced. Our consumers are not aquainted with quality and flavour of this meat, only mozzarella cheese is known for them which is made of buffalo milk in Italy.
