Poor potato crop
Hungary
Friday 30 November 2001
The average potato crop, this year, is estimated at 17 tons per hectare against 20 tons per hectare last year. The production area is 45 000 hectares, the crop would be then 800 000 tons, that is to say the poorest crop in five years. Nevertheless, as the 2000' crop was abundant, the country won't be short of potato.
