The Secretary of State responsible for agriculture and rural development of the Ministry of Agriculture detailed: the Hungarian State Treasury paid out money to a total of more than 128,000 farmers – those applying for greening subsidies, those who grow industrial vegetables and grain protein crops – within one day. Among the beneficiaries were nearly 2,400 farmers growing industrial vegetables, for whom HUF 3.8 billion were paid, and about 2,400 farmers growing protein crops, who received HUF 4 billion in production-related subsidies. This form of support was created for sectors that are traditionally in a more difficult situation, and the production of soybeans, sweet corn or green peas is also a sector with high added value, requiring a high level of professional knowledge, important feed or food ingredients.
