The breaking of tobacco has started

The breaking of tobacco has started on 4,700 hectares of the tobacco producing area in Hungary – the president of the Hungarian Tobacco Growers' Association (MADOSZ) told MTI on Monday.

Bényei Illés told that the full-grown lower leaves will be harvested first and works to be started in all the involved counties.

He considered this year's harvest outlooks favorable, because the tobacco plantations have received significant rainfall at the last moment. Major hails were not reported. (MTI)
