FruitVeB: weekend rainfall was good for the farmers and the orchards

The precipitation of the sown vegetable seeds and the flowering of the fruits was helped by the rainfall at the weekend, but it did not provide the necessary amount – Ledó Ferenc, chairman of the FruitVeB Hungarian Vegetable and Fruit Intergovernmental Organization and Product Board told MTI.

Ledó Ferenc said that a precipitation between 5 and 40 millimeters fell in the country, and that quantity would be sufficient for just 10 days. About 100-130 millimeters of rainfall would still be needed to recharge the water in the soil. (MTI)
