The Chamber of Agriculture has fulfilled its hopes for the hail damage reduction system in agriculture

The application of the hail mitigating system has halved the hail damage in agriculture: farmers reported hail damages on 37,000 hectares this year, compared to the 71,000 hectares of two years ago – the Zala County press officer for the National Chamber of Agriculture said at a press conference in Zalaegerszeg on Wednesday.

Süle Katalin also said that the rate of ice damage within agricultural losses was less than 13 percent this year, compared to the nearly 40 percent in 2017, when the hail damage reduction system was not yet operational. (MTI)
