The weather is favorable for green peas, the yield may increase by more than 20 percent, and the expansion of the supply may reduce the wild prices – napi.hu wrote.

In Hungary, 88 thousand tons of green peas were produced on 20.6 thousand hectares in 2019, while in 2018 90 thousand tons according to KSH data. This year – despite the slightly declining production area – the amount harvested may increase significantly, as the cooler May weather favored green peas. It is also true, however, that the harvest was hampered by the June rain. (napi.hu, Tóth László Levente)
