Hungary's large-scale rabbit meat production is facing challenges such as high costs and a drop in production due to the pandemic, with a potential shortage expected in the European market by summer and autumn. Despite these challenges, there is a market for the high-quality product, with 10-15% of domestic production sold domestically. The industry is also struggling with feed and energy costs, and many are waiting for a new tender for energy modernization. Additionally, there are backyard farmers who do not meet strict animal health regulations and traceability requirements, but still sell their products directly to consumers.
