FruitVeb: This year's fruit crop can be one million tonnes

This year's fruit crop in Hungary can reach one million tonnes – Mártonffy Béla, president of the Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Interprofessional Organisation (FruitVeB) told MTI on Wednesday.

He added that the amount may exceed the usual 800 tonnes with an additional 200 to 250 tonnes. This is due to the mild winter weather, and the fact that farmers have taken the advice of the Interprofessional Organisation and adequately defended themselves against the large number of pests in time.
