Farmers are irrigating barely

Barely half of the farmers who have water rights permit irrigated their lands last year – Magyar Idők wrote, referring to the Hungarian Agricultural Economics Research Institute’s report.

Only 2200 of the 110 thousand producer farms (nearly two percent) have water right permissions. This ratio is even smaller taking all the farmers into account. By calculating wtih half a million producers the proportion is only five per thousand. (tozsdeforum.hu)
