===Arable land=== Doubtless, one of Hungary's most important natural resources is [[arable land]]. It covers about 48.57% of the country, which is outstanding in the world (see the related [[:File:Arable land percent world.png|map]]). The mass majority of the [[fertile soil]] has a good quality. The most important agricultural zones are the [[Little Hungarian Plain]] (it has the highest quality fertile soil in average), [[Transdanubia]], and the [[Great Hungarian Plain]]. The last covers more than half of the country (52,000 km<sup>2</sup> in number), whereas soil quality varies extremely; the territory even contains a small, grassy [[semi-desert]], the so-called [[puszta]] (steppe in English). Puszta is exploited by [[sheep]] and [[cattle]] raising. The most important Hungarian agricultural products include [[maize|corn]], [[wheat]], [[barley]], [[oat]], [[sunflower]], [[poppy]],<!-- [[just poppy seed, or poppyseed oil or opium too? --> [[potato]], [[millet]], [[beet|sugar-beet]], [[flax]], and many other plants. There are also some newly naturalized plants too, for example [[amaranth]]. [[Poppy seed]] is part of the traditional [[Hungarian cuisine]]. [[File:Paprikahungarian.jpg|right|thumb|A greengrocer's in Hungary]] The country is well known for producing high quality [[Capsicum annuum|peppers]], which are often made into [[paprika]]. There are numerous fruits reared, including many subspecies of [[apple]], [[pear]], [[peach]], [[grape]], [[apricot]], [[watermelon]], [[cantaloupe]], etc. Hungary does not grow any [[Genetically modified organism|GMO]] products, thus these products are mainly imported from the [[United States]]. They cannot, however, be distributed without a mark on the wrapping.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GMO Licensing Authorisation in Hungary |url=https://gmo.kormany.hu/gmo-authorisation-in-hungary |access-date=2022-12-30 |website=gmo.kormany.hu}}</ref>
