The young farmers were given support for more than 150 thousand hectares this year

This year, the young farmers claimed supports for about 154,000 thousand hectares, for an average of 15 hectares – Czerván György said on Thursday at the ceremonial handover of the Young Farmers Advisory Centre for Education in Tiszadob.

From the total national support scheme, the young farmers were given about 0.75 percent, so they were given 10.1 million euros (more than 3 billion HUF) additional grants – the Minister of State said.

He stressed that the support of the young farmers is very important for the government, because it is essential to replace the aging workers in agriculture with young farmers soon. (MTI)
