Sufficient quantities of spring cereal seed this year

The Seed Association Interprofessional Organization and Product Board announces a net price of 105 thousand HUF for spring barley and spring oats II grade reproductive seeds. According to the organization, farmers have enough spring cereal seed for this year.

Takács Géza, president of the Seed Association’s Interprofessional Organization and Product Council, said that in parallel with the decline in crop production, the spring barley growing area has also fallen drastically in recent years. The current – approximately 1,300 hectares – is only 30 percent of 2010.
