The article highlights the significant decrease in onion cultivation in Hungary, particularly in the Mako region, from 1,500 to 2,000 hectares 20 years ago to only 20-30 hectares this year.

These countries use irrigation, which is crucial for onion production but is currently lacking in Hungary. The lack of water management and drought have further exacerbated the problem, leading to significant crop losses. This issue is not limited to Hungary as other European countries are also experiencing poor onion harvests due to similar conditions.

Without irrigation system The key word is irrigation, without which there is nothing to count on, and drought leads to crop losses from 20 to 50%. This year, the drought ...
