Gloomy forecast: No more cheap vegetables in Hungary
Citizens of Hungary have seen a brutal increase in prices in the past year. This does not seem to stop: at least in the case of vegetables. Looks like we have to get used to high prices for vegetables in Hungary. They, too, have gone through a shocking price rise.
The price of carrots rose by 89% in a month (!) to an average of HUF 730 (EUR 1.91) a kilogram in July, mfor.hu reports.
According to the FruitVeb Fruit and Vegetable Council, there is a shortage of carrots in Europe, which has been further exacerbated by the drought in the Netherlands. István Varga, the organisation’s vice-president, told RTL News that prices could fall by up to 15-25% if carrots are sown later in the autumn.
However, there is no hope for other vegetables: onions, for example, have risen by 73% and cabbage by 23% in a year.
According to István Varga, these prices are here to stay.

Well, this also has to be related to the diminishing value of the forint, which is currently at about 382/euro, and as most contracts for imported produce are in euro, this is what happens.
