The industrial tomato is the big winner
The production of vegetables declined by about one hundred thousand tonnes last year, mainly due to the Russian embargo, however, the production of industrial tomato cultivation increased, and there is still plenty of demand.
The production of industrial tomato exceeded one hundred thousand tonnes again. The volume can be between 110 to 120 thousand tonnes. (The low point was in 2010, with about 26 thousand tonnes), and the national average is nearly a hundred-ton yield. One reason for the increase is that the Univer factory in Kecskemét increased its processing capacity with 30-35 thousand tonnes, and other processors also expand their productivity.
