Zsolt Semjén and István Nagy at the opening ceremony of the exhibition
The 32nd FeHoVa International Exhibition for Weapons, Fishing and Hunting opened on Thursday at the Hungexpo Budapest Congress and Exhibition Center. The event, which runs until February 8, features 200 exhibitors from 13 countries showcasing their products.
In his opening speech, Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén, President of the Hungarian Hunters’ Association, said that today, regulations affecting hunting and fishing cannot be enacted without consultation with professional organizations, and that a significant portion of the adopted provisions are submitted to the government based on their proposals.
The adoption of the hunting law was also preceded by repeated consultations with the parties concerned, and the regulations thus developed have stood the test of time, he said.
It was a good decision to increase the term of lease agreements to 20 years to set the minimum size of hunting areas at 3,000 hectares, and the system of game management regions, dividing the country into 52 ecological units, headed by regional chief hunters who assist those entitled to hunt in every way, is also good.
During the amendment of the firearms law, unnecessary bureaucratic regulations were abolished, so that today’s regulations are realistic and reasonable.
He also mentioned the 2021 “One with Nature” Hunting and Nature World Exhibition, which he said was the largest event in 21st-century Hungary, attracting a total of 1.6 million visitors, with 640,000 attending the main event at Hungexpo alone, and the Hungarian hunting community continues to reap the benefits to this day.
Among the challenges, he mentioned drought and animal diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, myxomatosis, and African swine fever. Due to the latter, the wild boar population had to be reduced by 40 percent, and the state “generously provided compensation” to those affected.
He said that the results of game management had increased eighteenfold to 3 billion forints (7.8 million euros) in 16 years. Despite stricter requirements for becoming a hunter, the number of hunters rose from 57,000 to 71,000.
The Hungarian Hunters’ National Chamber retains 4.5 billion forints (12 million euros) from hunting licenses and permits, including co-payments, which are typically spent on habitat development.
He noted that game management and Hungarian hunting culture—the legacy of Zsigmond Széchenyi, Kálmán Kittenberger, and István Fekete—have been introduced to more than 300,000 schoolchildren, with 2 billion forints allocated for this purpose.
At the opening ceremony, Minister of Agriculture István Nagy said that in the 2024/25 hunting season, 328,000 large game animals and 559,000 hares and pheasants were harvested in 1,451 hunting areas, and 72,800 trophies were judged. Within this, roe deer antlers ranked first with 56 percent, followed by red deer antlers with 31 percent.
Zoltán Kovács, State Secretary for International Communication and Relations at the Prime Minister’s Office, editor-in-chief of Nimród Vadászújság magazine, and head of the Hungarian national delegation to the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC), said discussions have begun on what new content and innovations will be included in future FeHoVa exhibitions, which have played a significant role in passing on hunting culture over the past three decades.
Philipp Harmer, president of the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC), spoke appreciatively about hunting opportunities in Hungary. He emphasized that Hungary is one of the best hunting destinations in Europe due to its diversity of animal species and its understanding of hunting. He also pointed out that the hunting industry is in decline in England, and that only five animal species can be hunted in the Netherlands.
Lajos Szűcs, president of the Hungarian National Anglers’ Association (MOHOSZ), said that from this year onwards, the one million members of the angling community will be able to renew their licenses electronically, except when applying for new membership. In accordance with the fishing tourism strategy agreed with the government, the development of association bases will continue.
Gábor Korózs, president of the Hungarian Kennel Club (MEOESz), said that they have been participating in the event for 20 years, which has now grown into a four-day international dog show attracting visitors from many European countries.
Gábor Ganczer, CEO of Hungexpo, said that for more than 30 years, FeHoVa has been a meeting point for nature lovers, hunters, and forestry professionals who value the heritage they can pass on.
