European Union member states on Monday endorsed a European Commission proposal to mobilise EUR 10.8m from the agricultural reserve to support farmers in Hungary hit by heat stress in the summer of 2025.
Extreme heat and water shortages in Hungary between June and August caused major heat stress, affecting crops including sweetcorn, melons, sorghum and maize, the EC noted according to the Hungarian News Agency.
The exceptional support may be complemented by up to 200pc of national funds. The EC also allocated EUR 7.4m in exceptional support to Bulgarian farmers and EUR 3.3m to Estonian farmers.

One can only hope that this support money really goes to our farmers. They do need it as many farmers are struggling with high loans & interests and decreasing incomes from farming. Hungarian government aka Fidesz support for farmers is scarce and often ends up in the wrong pockets. Fidesz authorities also seem to be experts at being able to make EU support money disappear somewhere in their bureaucracy of handling fees and outright corruption procedures.
“One can only hope that this support money really goes to our farmers”
Why not take the victory for hungarian farmers and show some solidarity for your countrymen and women that put food on your table instead of your stupid Tizsla braindead comments!!!
