The potato market in Hungary is expanding

According to the NAIK Agricultural Economics Research Institute, the sown area in Hungary currently does not reach ten thousand hectares. Potatoes, grown on about forty thousand hectares before the change of regime, have been pushed out of the production structure since the early 2000s, due in part to the fragmentation of holdings. And after the accession to the EU, more and more people stopped growing potatoes due to the lack of market knowledge, the newspaper writes quoting experts from the Ministry of Agriculture.
