Christmas – Domestic pine tree traffic amounts to 10-12 billion HUF annually

Every year, 2-2.2 million pines are sold in the country in a value of 10-12 billion forints – Boross Dávid, President of the Hungarian Horticultural Trade Association (Makert) told MTI.

He stressed that the price of pines also depends on the size and the place of sale and the place of origin. This year, Hungarian spruce-growns sold at constant prices compared to last year, when there was a significant increase in wages, transport costs and irrigation costs. With the increase, the price of spruce is already close to that of Nordmann fir, which is largely imported from Germany or Denmark, he added. (MTI)
