The domestic pear season in Hungary lasts until the end of October. This year, farmers are expecting a better harvest compared to last year's drought, but it will not reach the average level. Pears are known for their unique and sweet taste, and they can be easily obtained and stored in autumn and winter. However, the cultivated area for pears in Hungary has been decreasing in recent years. The average annual yield is estimated to be 20-25 thousand tons, which meets domestic consumption demand. This year's lower yield is attributed to frost damage in April and aging plantations. Pears are rich in minerals and vitamins, which can contribute to preventing various diseases.
