Tridge summary

Hungarian melon and grape producers are facing challenges as their crops are rotting in the fields due to issues with Hungarian production, while imports are available in shops. The trade is disrupted as shops are refusing to buy Hungarian melons and are paying only 30 forints per kilo, despite the cost being much higher. The situation is similar with grapes, and green harvesting is also an issue. The area under potato planting in Hungary has decreased significantly in recent years, and domestic producers are finding it difficult to compete with imported potatoes. The high price of seed potatoes and the sowing of potatoes from the previous year are also noted. Farmers are finding it unprofitable to deal with certain crops and are receiving support for cutting down capital. László Nagy Növényes believes that it is not worth young people's time and energy to invest in agriculture due to these challenges.
