Let’s eat as many Hungarian melons as possible in the summer, because in this way we support the livelihood of Hungarian families and the Hungarian economy, Minister of Agriculture Nagy István said in a video uploaded to his community page on Thursday.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Agriculture (AM), the Minister drew attention to the fact that 2,200 farmers in Hungary are growing melons for Hungarian consumers on more than 3,700 hectares. Due to the great heat of summer, the Hungarian melon entered the domestic market in large quantities and in excellent quality seven or ten days earlier, already on the first weekend of July. (MTI)
