The potato market in Hungary is expanding
The area sown to field potatoes will increase by more than a fifth this year compared to last year, but longer-term expansion – in order to achieve self-sufficiency – would require the use of more modern irrigation technology, writes the World Economy in Thursday’s issue.
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.
