There is less wheat, but the supply is guaranteed

Because of the damage caused by the extreme weather, 10 to 20 percent less grain will be harvested.

About 4 million tonnes of wheat can be expected after last year’s 4.9 million tonnes, but there is an adequate supply of bread, seeds, exports and feed, Fazekas Sándor Minister of Agriculture told M1 news channel on Wednesday.

The head of the ministry drew attention that the damage elimination system can be used for virtually any damage, such as drought, hail, storm, inland water or flood damage, if the crop loss is 30 percent or more.
