FruitVeB: 100 thousand tonnes less vegetables has grown

About 100 thousand tonnes less vegetables has grown this year, compared to last year. This year 1.7 million tonnes of vegetables are expected to be harvested – the President of the Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Interprofessional Organisation (FruitVeB) told MTI on Monday.

Ledó Ferenc told that in the case of open field vegetables the decline was 9-10 percent, mainly because of the drought, while the volume of greenhouse vegetables increased by 2-3 percent, compared to last year. (MTI)
