The Ministry of Agriculture intends to increase the size of irrigable areas by one hundred thousand hectares by 2024 – the State Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture said at the ‘Clean Water’ 2020 Japanese-Hungarian regional agricultural conference in Debrecen.

Szinay Attila spoke about the new irrigation legislation that came into force on January 1 and the tender opportunities, saying that climate change has a significant impact on agriculture, for example, due to uneven rainfall distribution, the largest amount is paid from the compensation fund for drought damage.
