Drought heavily damages grain crops
Some 30% of cereal crops may be wiped out by the drought of recent weeks, president Istvan Jakab of farmers association Magosz told state television on Wednesday.
Last weekend’s rains have not alleviated the situation, and crops need 100-150mm of rainfall, he added.
Jakab suggested building irrigation facilities in the most drought-affected areas.
The wheat harvest reached 5.2 billion tons last year, about the same amount as in 2017. (napi.hu; hvg.hu; index.hu; origo.hu; 444.hu)

Gov’t looks to foster multinationals
The government has launched its Hungarian Multi Programme with Ft 10 billion to support SMEs, Innovation and Technology Ministry state secretary Laszlo Gyorgy announced.
EU funds will be provided to about 170 Hungarian-owned SMEs that achieve annual growth of at least 20% in three consecutive years or at least 5% annual export growth.
Such companies can become Hungarian multinationals which enter market niches and achieve success abroad, Gyorgy underlined.
Beneficiary companies will be selected by an audit examining their long-term strategy and growth potential.
Exports will be helped by tailor made consultancy services. (portfolio.hu; index.hu)
