Anikó Juhász explained at the meeting that the crises of recent years have highlighted the inevitability of modernization, and supporting it can significantly help the expansion and promotion of the Hungarian agricultural machinery industry in foreign markets. This process can be helped by the support of interest protection organizations and members, in addition to the designation of policy and goals, he added.

The international market also holds serious opportunities
