A magyarországi máktermelésről

Abstract

Hazankban az utobbi evekben egyre nagyobb teruleteken folyik alkaloida es etkezesi mak termelese. Megallapithato, hogy nem igazolodtak be azok a varakozasok, melyek az unios csatlakozastol a maktermeles csokkeneset vartak, annak ellenere, hogy az unio korlatozta egyes hazai, magasabb alkaloidatartalmu fajtak termeleset. Vizsgalataink alapjan megallapithato, hogy a maktermeles magas hektaronkenti termelesi koltsege ellenere jovedelmező. Ha a hazai maktermelest az 1960-as evek szintjere emelnek, akkor az hozzajarulhatna a napjainkban fennmaradasukert es mindennapi megelhetesukert kuzdő – elsősorban a szegenyebb kelet-magyarorszagi regiokban – gazdalkodok megelhetesehez. ------------------------------------- The area used for growing poppy seed for human consumption or alkaloid production in Hungary has been growing in recent years. We can conclude that the fears that Hunga ry’s accession to the European Union would reduce poppy seed growing did not come true even though the Community limited the growing of certain Hungarian varieties with a higher alkaloid concentration. Our research shows that despite its high per-hectare cost, poppy seed growing is a profitable activity. If we could increase poppy seed growing in Hungary to the level where it was in the 1960-ies, it could contribute to the livelihood of farmers - especially in the poorer areas of Eastern Hungary – who are currently fighting to make ends meet and survive.
