The 18th Hortus Hungaricus International Gardeners Exhibition opened in Budapest's Syma Events Centre on Friday.

Hungary's gardening industry is worth HUF 700bn-800bn a year, fruit and vegetable growers association FruitVeB head Béla Martonffy said at the opening. Fruit and vegetable growers generate about two-thirds of the sector's revenue and growers of ornamental plants 20%, he said. Growers of herbs account for 6-7% and the rest is generated by grape growers and vintners, he added.
