The Hungarian chestnut trees could be saved within a public work programme

October started with a professional meeting in Nagymaros. The main objective of the professional meeting was the preservation and restoration of the chestnut gardens in the Carpathian Basin.

The sponsor, the Magyar Kertészeti Szaporítóanyag Nonprofit Kft. (MKSZN) (Hungarian Horticulture Propagation Nonprofit Kft.) considered the rehabilitation of chestnut growing important, because they would like to put the cestnut production worthy in the Hungarian economy again.
