Due to spring frosts, cooling during flowering, and large temperature fluctuations, only a quarter of the usual amount of Hungarian apricots can be sold on the market this year. The National Chamber of Agrarian Economy and FruitVeB believe that climate change is causing increasingly extreme weather and that it is necessary to reorganize domestic fruit production, especially for early-flowering fruit. Apricots are in high demand among consumers and the processing industry, with potential for even higher sales if more were available.
