In order to maintain safe food production, the National Chamber of Agriculture (NAK) initiated the establishment of the water shortage period at Pintér Sándor, Interior Minister from 1 June until the date of revocation.

If the Interior Minister adopts the Chamber’s proposal, farmers will not be required to pay water resource contributions after water used for irrigation, fisheries and rice production for the given period.

According to the Chamber’s Friday announcement, the proposal is intended to reduce further crop yield losses caused by the weather and to reduce the costs of the agricultural sector. (MTI)
