FruitVeB: The volume of folded vegetables grew by 15 percent

The yield of folded vegetables has increased significantly, by 15 percent in recent years, while the size of the folding area has declined – Ledó Ferenc, President of the Hungarian Vegetable and Fruit Association and Product Council (FruitVeB) told MTI.

In the last 5-6 years, the yielding area decreased to 3700-3800 hectares, while the volume of vegetable production rose by 15 percent to 430-440 thousand tons.

90-95 percent of the produced goods are sold to the domestic market. Each year they export 20-25 thousand tons of paprika and 5-6 thousand tons of folded cabbage, and in smaller quantities they sell tomatoes and cucumbers in foreign markets – he added. (MTI)
