Wheat replaces Makói onion

Fewer and fewer onion is grown in Hungary. Rather wheat is produced in the Makó region, instead of garlic and onions – Népszabadság Online wrote.

– While the cost of cultivation of one hectare of wheat is about one hundred thousand HUF, the cultivation of a hectare of garlic is 1.5 – 2 million HUF – Gubacsi Zoltán, Vice Chairman of the Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Interprofessional Organisation and Product Board told Magyar Hírlap. According to the expert, it is not worth to produce garlic under five hectares, so in the Makó region grain is sown into the soil. (nol.hu)
