The consumption of apple has increased

According to Budai Gyula, domestic consumption of apple has increased, thanks to the sales campaign launched by the Ministry of Rural Development (VM), the Agricultural Marketing Center, the FruitVeB and the CBA a month ago.

The Parliamentary Minister of State of the Ministry of Rural Development also added at the closing ceremony of the campaign in Üröm on Friday, that a great interest occurs towards Hungarian apples in the Russian market as well.

The Hungarian producers are ready for the export, and until 2020, 100-120 thousand jobs would be created thanks to the exports to Russia – added Mártonffy Béla president of the FruitVeB fruit and vegetable inter-professional organization. (MTI)
