Advisor to Peter Magyar Calls It “Good” if Tens of Thousands of Hungarian Farmers Go Bankrupt

From an agricultural economics perspective, it would be beneficial if tens of thousands of family farms disappeared and farmland became concentrated in the hands of those who "understand modern farming," Gyorgy Rasko, agricultural advisor to Peter Magyar, said in an interview, discussing the planned EU agricultural reform. Peter Magyar's advisor took the view that Hungary should prepare for farming to be done "more professionally" from 2028 onward.

Rasko has also said he believes farmers make money too easily through subsidies. In his view, the average family-run farm in Hungary—typically with about 100 hectares of land—earns unreasonably high income with minimal labor and very low tax obligations as small-scale producers.
