While climate change has made most of Europe unsuitable for toxin-free corn farming, Hungary can still deliver good quality products from GMO- and chemical-free corn, Vaszkó said.

Western European countries are willing to pay a higher price for such products, but Hungarian consumers will have to be educated to do so, he said.

By-products of corn processing can be used to manufacture “tasty plates and cups that can be eaten after use, and which decompose within weeks if discarded,” he said.

Áder noted that the product will be showcased at the Planet Budapest 2021 sustainability expo taking place from Nov. 29 to Dec. 5.
