The VM provides a support of about 150 million HUF to the paprika producers

The Ministry of Rural Development (VM) provides an about 150 million HUF support to the spice paprika producers in 2014 – the ministry told MTI on Thursday.

The spice paprika has a paramount importance. It is a manual labor-intensive Hungarian herb, its crop area declined to 1,500 hectares until 2008, due to unfavorable market trends, and after the slight increase of the recent years it has increased to 2,500 hectares. (MTI)
