Fruit prices have not jumped despite lower yields
Due to the spring frosts – in April and in early May, which decimated the crop – about 30-35 thousand hectares of orchards suffered damage. It is estimated that 250-300 thousand tons less fruit will be harvested this year in the country – Ledó Ferenc, chairman of the FruitVeB told at the end of spring.
By now, it is revealed that lower yields have not increased fruit prices. In fact, according to latest data from the Central Statistical Office, the fruit producer price level decreased by 9.6 percent in May, compared to the previous year. But this does not affect this year's harvest. (by our colleague)
