The spring frost has reduced this year's apricot harvest by 70-80%, the National Agriculture Chamber (NAK) and growers association FruitVeB said.
The apricot crop is likely to reach just 7,000-8,000 tonnes, they said.
NAK and FruitVeB pressed for growers to switch from Mediterranean varieties of apricot to later-blooming types better suited to weather conditions in Hungary.
Even in a good year, only around 30% of locally-grown apricots are sold fresh, they noted.
