AM: higher grape purchase prices can be achieved through joint selling

Government backs viticultural cooperations

Feldman Zsolt spoke about the sales difficulties of grape and wine producers. As he stated, the problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic are compounded by the situation that remains here in Hungary as a historical heritage: each producer tries to sell its products separately. In the traditional European wine-producing countries, the smaller wine producers do not sell their grapes independently, but in the framework of cooperatives and co-operations, so they can enforce the interests of their members with greater results.
