Raspberry production fell significantly

The harvest of raspberries has begun, and although the taste of Hungarian raspberry is excellent, yet fewer producers on less area are dealing with this fruit – according to the President of the Hungarian Fruit Association’s statement that was published in Monday’s Magyar Hírlap.

Csizmadia György said that about 100 farmers are dealing with the production of raspberries on a couple of hundred hectares. The large scale industrial raspberry growing is already the past, while the producers sell the fruit as a fresh fruits on local markets. (MTI, mfor.hu)
