Melon Market: cooperation with the trading companies

To reach success in the Hungarian agriculture, including the watermelon sector cooperation is essential – emphasized Fazekas Sándor Rural Development Minister on Wednesday in Budapest, at the opening event of Tesco’s Hungarian watermelon promotion campaign.

The Minister announced that the cooperation between the ministry, the relevant professional organizations and the trading companies is important for the 15 thousand domestic melon farmers, because it can contribute to the stability in the sector.
