Forrás: Pick Szeged Zrt. 18 Consequences The sole source of growth and survival is export (especially with the high value, high quality traditional product, like ours, and specially being in Hungary with the decreasing disposable income) The target regions of growth were shifted to the far east (Japan, China, Hon Kong, Thailand, etc.) Consumer behaviour is changing, but trends are not obvious (need for healthy products, weakening brand loyalty, price sensitivity increases everywhere) Unfavourable global trends (growing population, ethnical changes, climate, more alternatives for the use of crop, increasing feed price, etc.) Unreliably market reaction even on very short term (Unstable market mechanism, speculation) Growth can only be based on improved efficiency and higher added value
Forrás: Pick Szeged Zrt. 19 Consequences On micro level we have no other chance but to adopt to the global trends in many areas in a confusing word. E.g. Consumer income (better quality in smaller amounts vs. cheaper products) Consumer behaviour and brand awareness (less income vs. increasing need for healthier products) Taxation (different VAT level in neighbouring countries) Transport cost (growing markets are very far) Differences in import regulations (free trade vs. stronger protectionism, even applied in the private sector) Market structure, business culture, negotiation power of retail (reliable, strategic relationships, vs. unfair trade)
Forrás: Pick Szeged Zrt. 20 Consequences With regard to the proposed new CAP system, we fully agree with the opinion of COPA-COGECA as submitted to the Commission. NOTES: To make clear preferences between targets (efficient production, create jobs, save the environmental) To maintain subsidies dependent on producing (to a certain extent) is unavoidable to serve the targets Agriculture is for food production, so the whole food chain should be regarded as the object of matter, and subsidies must serve the development of the whole food sector The more extensive bureaucracy does not fit to higher efficiency CAP 2014-2020 is a critical investment, and probably the last occasion for the EU countries to spend on agriculture from common source
