Hungarian pálinka’s price to skyrocket soon!
Change language:
The chairman of the National Council of Pálinka says that increasing prices is the only solution to the rising fruit prices. He cleared that some years before they could buy peach for 200 HUF/kilo. Now it is 400. He added, however, that he is not sure whether the market will accept such a drastic step.
It is good to know that pálinka can be produced only using fruit grown in Hungary. Furthermore, the whole production line has to be in Hungary, too.
László Mihány said to Infórádió, that the reason behind the skyrocketing fruit prices is the problems of the sector. Among others, the tax on pálinka is high, which they have to include in the prices. Moreover, energy and fuel prices have gone up significantly lately. Therefore,
Mr Mihány thinks the only solution is to increase pálinka price.
The National Council of Pálinka’s chairman cleared that the breweries worked with a low margin for years. However, a significant price increase would be dangerous since nobody knows what the consumers would pay. In extreme cases, it might happen that they would change their mind and buy other alcoholic beverages.
