We can expect a weaker than average plum crop this year

The amount of fresh plums imported to Hungary was between 1.2 and 1.5 thousand tons during the observed period. The foreign trade balance of fresh plums was positive in 2022: plum exports (3.59 thousand tons) exceeded imports (1.48 thousand tons). The import is not a significant amount, in the first six months of this year, 268.6 tons of plums arrived in the country (mainly from Germany and the Netherlands), 32 percent less than in the same period of the previous year.
