Hungary is expecting a better-than-average nut crop this year, with favorable conditions leading to good fruit size and quality. Some regions, like Somogy and Vas counties, experienced abundant rainfall that helped with walnut development, while other areas like Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county avoided damage from spring frosts. However, the rapid growth of the walnut-growing area in Hungary has led to an increase in non-production-oriented plantations that aim to receive subsidies, which is seen as a problem by the interprofessional organization.
