Hungary: Fresh Deciduous Fruit. Annual Report, 2007. GAIN Report Number HU7010

摘要

The early May frosts halved Hungary's apple crop from 537,000 MT in 2006 to 251,000 MT estimated for 2007. Prices of both table and industrial apples doubled, hitting apple juice concentrate producers particularly hard. Due to frost damages and drought, market supply is tight in neighboring countries as well. The Government of Hungary has tried to compensate producers for losses and to support the maintenance of orchards until next season. Apple juice concentrate exports, destined to the US market as well, are going to be only a third of the previous year's level.
