Draft: based on the 2024 act on authenticity, an agriculture minister's decree would define the authentic data of 28 agricultural and food chain registers. These include, among others, the small producer register, the national variety list, and the registers of plant protection products and plant protection drone pilots. The aim is to make clear which data are authentic and to end parallel registration of the same data.

Draft: an agriculture minister's decree would introduce a damage compensation advance for farmers hit by the 2026 spring frost. An advance could go to producers who paid this year's damage compensation contribution, where at least half of their vineyard or orchard area was damaged and the expected yield loss reaches 50 percent. The advance would be HUF 100,000 per hectare, and applications could be submitted electronically between 3 and 17 August 2026. The decision would be made by 15 October at the latest, with payment within 5 days after that, and the advance would be deducted from the final compensation; comments could be sent until 14 July 2026.
