The National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) will modernize the infrastructure of its variety testing and breeding stations in Monorierdő, Pölöske, Székkutas and Tordas with a HUF 985 million non-refundable grant, the authority told MTI on Wednesday.

Among other things, the support will be used to improve the station network with new power machines and harvesters, gardening tools, working tools for organic farming, meteorological stations and tools for seed processing.

According to the announcement, the results of the variety recognition system implemented at the Nébih variety testing and variety breeding stations have a significant influence on the performance of the agricultural sector. By modernizing the stations, experiments on plant varieties can be carried out, as a result of which the negative effects resulting from the uncertainty of agricultural cultivation can be reduced, and the quality of outstanding importance from the point of view of crop safety and food safety can be increased.
