Feldman Zsolt, the Secretary of State responsible for agriculture and rural development of the Ministry of Agriculture, held a consultation with the representatives of the insurance companies operating in Hungary in order to ensure that the compensation of farmers who suffered drought damage goes as smoothly as possible in the future – announced the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) in a statement sent to MTI on Friday.
