According to an overview presented last week by the National Chamber of Agriculture and the Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Association (FruitVeB), there is an opportunity to develop the sector despite climate change, writes profitline.hu.
Partly due to climate change and partly due to the high demand for manual labor, berry growing is taking place in shrinking area in Hungary. Due to the changed climatic conditions, a new approach is necessary in breeding, the selection of varieties, plant protection, and the entire cultivation technology.
While experience helps a lot, the role of data, new approaches and modern solutions increases in practice.
The latest technologies, such as drone spraying or data-based area selection, can open up new perspectives for the sector, the professional organizations believe.
