Domestic melon production can be strengthened through cooperation
There is room for development in the domestic melon sector, the demand for Hungarian watermelons is increasing on the export markets. However, in order to take advantage of the opportunities, greater producer cooperation is needed – it was revealed at the last meeting of the melon working group of the National Chamber of Agricultural Economy, at which the Association of Hungarian Melon Growers and the Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Association (FruitVeB) were also represented.
The representatives of the domestic melon sector discussed the results of this year and the tasks of the future at the last meeting of the melon working group of the National Chamber of Agrarian Economy. At the meeting – at which the Association of Hungarian Melon Growers and the Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Association (FruitVeB) were also represented – it was revealed that although the season was delayed due to the cooler, rainy summer, the sector can close a moderately good year overall this year. While a demand market emerged throughout Europe in July due to weather anomalies in the Mediterranean region, August was already characterized by oversupply, which also affected prices. The heatwave that arrived in the second half of August was also good for the melon market, the producers were able to sell the existing stocks both domestically and on the export markets.
