Hungarian Corn Expands Reach

Bar chart and pie chart showing corn exports by volume and by destination, 1992/93-2001/02

In recent years, Hungary has become one of the top five corn exporters, in contrast to the time when it almost exclusively supplied Eastern Europe and the USSR. Following the fall of the USSR, Hungary was plagued by low yields as infrastructure problems led to decreased input utilization. However, in recent years, an increased ability to afford inputs, improved transportation, and relatively stable domestic feed consumption, have allowed Hungary to expand its export focus. Currently, Hungary is not only able to supply Eastern Europe, but has substantially increased shipments to the EU and Mediterranean region. Hungary will be a growing force in the world corn market.
