In this sector there were three notable changes. The profitability of our crops rose sharply, and the profitability of animal farming dropped dramatically, too. Not independently from climate change and energy shortage canola production rose by 18,1% setting a new record. You can make biofuel from its oil. On the other hand, production of sugar beet dropped to record low. Europe became sugar-addicted in the middeaval times and started subsidizing this substitute plant during the Napoleonic wars when the sea blockade cut the supply of tropical sugar. The subsidy was wiped out only last year.</I>Antal Dánielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982036207587080662noreply@blogger.com
