Hungaryʼs government would like to support the purchase of Mezőgazdasági – based in Senta, an area of Serbia with an ethnic Hungarian minority by a Hungarian peer – Budai said. Reaching a mutual agreement on the privatization, rather than calling a tender, would be the more favorable option for the Hungarians, he added.
Mezőgazdasági has about 541 hectares of its own farmland and a further 2,400 hectares of irrigated land that it rents from the state. Saving the company would preserve almost 200 jobs.
