Irrigation was developed at the Harangod-Mag company group

Glattfelder Béla, Minister of State for the Ministry of National Economy stressed the importance of irrigation in Megyaszó, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county where the irrigation plant of the Harangod-Mag Kft. was handed over on Friday. The agricultural company spent a total of one billion HUF for irrigation systems in the past years.

Glattfelder Béla said that in the past, a considerably higher agricultural land was irrigated in Hungary, but in the early nineties of the infrastructure of irrigation “fell apart” and the size of the irrigated land decreased significantly.

Therefore it is important to irrigate more and more land areas, to provide not only the safety of the crop, but also to increase the amount and increase the added value on the crops. (MTI)
