Investing in innovation
Many “coming from the future” innovations have been implemented in Hungarian agri-food production processes, resulting in improved quality and competitiveness. Examples include:
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
- Digital “smart” conventional and hydroponic crops
- Greenhouse applications “turn-key” type
- Design and construction of grain processing plants
- Complete farm machinery solutions
- Advanced “smart” monitoring, telemetry monitoring systems for saving irrigation and lubrication
LIVESTOCK
- Poultry farm productivity enhancement technologies
- Breeding and processing of aquatic birds
- Technologies for pig – breeding – fish breeding units
FOOD PROCESSING
- Dairy production units “turn-key”
- Biogas production technologies from fungal residues
- Raw vegetable oil processing technologies
- Distillation advancedtechnologies
- Brewery equipment & machinery technologies
- Winery Intelligent system of alcoholic fermentation
- Applications for slaughtering,processing & alteration of poultry, cattle, and pigs
- Cooling & low-Oxygen Technology
- Multi-processing for fruits & vegetables
Sustainability and energy footprint
Intensive cultivation and production gradually drain natural resources. Science and Technology offer solutions that provide renewables, environmental protection, and sustainable development. Some important applications in the field of environmental technologies and renewables are:
- Water Treatment & Management Technologies
- Wastewater treatment and management technologies
- Waste water and biogas technologies
- Innovative biomass energy crops
- Design & production of photovoltaic pannels
- Horizontal shaft wind turbines
- Geothermal energy applications
- Hydroelectric units
Innovative applications for agricultural and livestock production
The evolution of technology and automation in agricultural and livestock production over the last decade has changed the scene. Hungary, among the leading European countries in the research and development of innovative applications, now has this know-how in our country through the Hungarian Export Promotion Agency.
The application of innovative technologies in agricultural and livestock production enables safer, cheaper, longer and more sustainable production processes. The impassivity of our country towards such technological applications can only be seen as an opportunity.
A representative example is the Horticultural Propagation Material Non-Profit Ltd (HHPMN), which has managed to design and implement high-quality solutions for agricultural production. Their long-term planning has prompted a large number of private sector companies and organizations to heavily invest in the development of Agritech solutions to improve competitiveness and sustainable development of the agricultural sector. That is why today, Hungary is one of the leading European countries influencing developments in agricultural and livestock technology innovation.
