Ministry of Agriculture: the aging of the farmer society must be stopped

The aging of the farmer society must be stopped with EU agricultural policy tools and with actions of the Member States – the Minister of State of the Ministry of Agriculture told M1 news channel.

Kis Miklós Zsolt remarked that, like in other European countries, the third of farmers is over 65 in Hungary as well. He added that in the West, family businesses are inherited from generation to generation, in Hungary, however, many entrepreneurs do business without experience, so they should be supported not only by financial tools, but also with counseling and training.
