Dear Participant

Within a short period of time we will celebrate together the 60th anniversary of UNITAB in Budapest!

We, the organizers, hereby would like to kindly invite you to the 33rd UNITAB Congress which will be held in Budapest, Hungary. This event will be a good opportunity for taking a look back to the happenings of the near past and also for discussing the most important questions of the future.

The European tobacco growers would like to continue making their living by hard work and employing those 300,000 people who can thank their incomes to this industry sector.

We wanted to make sure this message reaches the decision makers, therefore we have chosen the following slogen of the Congress:

„Retain the jobs in Europe!”

We, the hosting National Association of the Hungarian Tobacco Growers, hope to see you soon in person and are sending you our best regards.

Since it was created in 1952, UNITAB, the European association of tobacco growers, has been gathering national or regional associations representing the whole European tobacco growing sector. The national associations gather on two major axles:

The stability and revenue generating ability of the Hungarian tobacco growing sector has suffered a significant decline at the end of the 1990s, its future seemed to be hopeless at a time therefore to represent their interest defence, the Hungarian tobacco growers have founded the National Association of the Hungarian Tobacco Growers (MADOSZ) on October 21, 1999 in Nyíregyháza.

Have you heard many things about Budapest and Hungary? Are you curious what is the Hungarian capital like? Can't decide whether Budapest is worth a visit?

The capital of Hungary, known by many as the “Pearl of the Danube”, is undoubtedly one of the most beautifully located cities in the world.
