Apiary Association: price of honey decreased by 20 percent in one year

Honey prices have fallen by 20 percent in one year, and over the past ten years decreased by sixty percent in euros – the president of the National Hungarian Beekeeping Association told M1 news channel on Tuesday.

Bross Péter added that cheap Chinese honey dominates the market: 85,000 tons came in last year, and its price has fallen by 11 percent.

For such little money, European beekeepers cannot produce honey, he said. (MTI)
