This year’s melon season promises to be good
The 2022 melon season officially starts this week. Although domestically grown cantaloupe can be found on the shelves for a month now, the picking of wild cantaloupe and cantaloupe really begins now. Let’s forget Lőrinc! Thanks to climate change, the domestic weather conditions have also changed, and we can enjoy Hungarian melons until September.
Both consumers and producers are looking forward to a summer full of hopes, as the weather of the past few weeks has been especially favorable for melons, so according to expectations, the quality of this year’s crop may surpass previous years.
This year, the melon-growing area decreased by about 15 percent, which is about 3,000 hectares. Of this, 2,600 hectares are watermelons, and 400 hectares are melons. A similar decrease in area can be seen in international production as well. However, thanks to the suitable weather, increasingly excellent varieties and increasing technological standards, domestic yields are expected to increase: experts expect around 130,000 tons of watermelons and 12,000 tons of cantaloupes.
