Tridge summary
Hungarian supermarkets have seen a shift in the availability of primary vegetables towards domestic fresh produce by the end of May, with a preference for Hungarian white peppers despite a global trend towards biologically ripe crops. The demand for various pepper types, including red and California peppers, is on the rise, leading to increased cultivation in Hungary. The country's pepper production benefits from advancements, investments, and the use of geothermal energy, enabling nearly year-round supply and extension of the production period with greenhouse production.

Greenhouse pepper production, fueled by geothermal energy, is less impacted by rising energy prices and uses fewer chemical pesticides, contributing to the sector's sustainability.
