Melon growers are complaining about too low purchase prices

The melon growers of Medgyesegyházam, Békés County are talking about tragically low purchase prices. Many of them told that they are thinking about the termination of their activities for the next year.

The President of the FruitVeb Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Interprofessional Organisation told MTI on Thursday that there is a chance to moderate the problem in the second half of next week.
The cost price of melon is around 20-22 HUF, while the wholesale purchase price is only 23-28 HUF. A minimum of 40 HUF wholesale purchase prices would be necessary. (MTI)
