Irrigation is the basis of safe food production
Irrigation is the basis of safe food production, which is why the size of Hungary’s irrigated areas must be increased, the Minister of Agriculture said at a conference held in Nyíregyháza on the occasion of World Water Day.

Irrigated area should be doubled
Nagy István reminded that the goal of the cabinet was to increase the size of irrigated areas from 87,000 hectares to at least double. This is helped by the government’s decision to spend about 17 billion HUF a year on irrigation infrastructure for ten years. (MTI)
