There have always been and will be unpredictable factors in agriculture, both in terms of weather and economics . In this constantly changing environment, we have to find forward-looking solutions with which we can minimize the negative effects and prepare for the challenges. The new acquisitions also help us stand on more feet and diversify our portfolio,” added Makai Szabolcs, Talentis CEO of Agro Zrt., according to the announcement.
