European overproduction plagued the Hungarian apple growers
After the pig farmers and the dairy sector, now the apple producers face difficulties due to overproduction in Europe – the Magyar Idők wrote.
The Polish apple penetrated the market in the last few weeks massively, so the purchase prices are still lower than last year's level. In the domestic cooling houses, a significant amount of fruits are still waiting to be marketed, however in the absence of demand, it is feared that the producers have to sell their stocks well below the purchase price.
