The improvement of fruits is a time-consuming process. New varieties do not appear from day to day. Scientists need about 10-15 years for the improvement and another 10-15 years to make the results accepted. Only after these processes can the new varieties be introduced in the market. Therefore, the researchers’ efforts bear fruit only after some long-long years – according to Zoltán Kasztovszky, managing director of MKSZN.
