Seed exports below average in 2020
Hungary's seed exports reached 81,357 tonnes last year, under the 100,000 tonne average in previous years, the Hungarian Seed Association told state news wire MTI.
Chairman Géza Takács said some countries that have imported seeds until now are trying to establish domestic capacities which will require Hungary to look for new export markets.
