The agricultural community in Makó, Hungary, has seen a significant reduction in onion cultivation, from 1,500-2,000 hectares in the year 2000 to only 20-30 hectares in the current year. This decline is primarily attributed to the increased competition from more efficient European producers, particularly from Italy, Germany, and Spain. The advancements in water management and cultivation technologies in these countries have made it challenging for Hungarian farmers to remain competitive.
