Debrecen Wheat Meeting: Hungarian agriculture is kept alive by subsidies

Currently the Hungarian agriculture would be inoperable without supports – the Director of the National Center for Agricultural Research and Innovation told on Tuesday in Debrecen.

Gyuricza Csaba at the 25th Jubilee Wheat Council in Debrecen told that the sector’s output is 2600 billion forints and the total support is 600 billion forints.

The expert has called it alarming that agricultural output has risen by 70 percent worldwide since 1990, but declined by 30 percent in Hungary. (MTI)
