Import market for Fresh Tomato in Czechia (6월, 2022)

Hungarian vegetable producers in Szentes are expecting a good harvest this season despite global challenges and increasing costs. They have signed contracts for nearly 28,000 tons of fresh market products, an 8% increase from last year. The EU's green policy is expected to favor vegetables, and Hungarian producers are looking to establish a leading role in the fresh market vegetable industry. However, they face challenges such as rising costs and difficulties in logistics and transport. To stay competitive, they plan to invest in a new logistics hall and improve efficiency through technological developments like robotics storage, ventilation, and automatic irrigation. The new center, set to be completed by the end of 2022, will also help mitigate the effects of extreme weather conditions.
