Hungarian paprika is still popular

Hungarian paprika producers could have excellent opportunities, but industry sources, easier application possibilities would be required and the range of goods should be increased as well – Fodor Zoltán, Executive Director of the FruitVeB Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Interprofessional Organization and Marketing Board told MTI on Friday.

Fodor Zoltán, said that over the past 15 years, the pepper-growing area in Hungary reduced significantly, because of the opening of the free markets and the weakening of competitiveness. The pepper-growing area in field production decreased from 3 thousand hectares to 1,200 hectares while the area of films and green houses decreased from ​​1,700 to  1,400 hectares.   (MTI)
