Hungarian vegetable growers are preparing for challenges such as increased costs and weather conditions to impact their half-year season, but expect a good harvest. They anticipate sales of vegetables and fruits to reach HUF 17 billion, but insist that these increased costs should be reflected in producer prices. The cooperative, SouthKERTÉSZ, is investing HUF 2.7 billion in a logistics hall to improve efficiency and protect against extreme weather. The cooperative is also open to trying out sweeter, more colorful peppers, moving away from traditional white peppers.
