In 2022, Hungary emerged as a dominant player in the European horseradish market, producing over 10,000 tons of the root vegetable on 1,194 hectares of land, nearly half of the EU's total production. In spite of supplying a significant portion of its production to the domestic market, the majority (80-90%) of Hungarian horseradish was exported to countries like Germany, Poland, the UK, and the Czech Republic. The unique cultivation techniques and phased harvesting processes used in Hungary ensure a consistent supply of horseradish across Europe until the new season's harvest. Additionally, the town of Kiskunfélegyháza in Hungary has obtained a protected designation of origin (PDO) for its 'Hajdúsági Torma' horseradish product, which was also recognized as a Hungarikumm in 2021, highlighting the region's commitment to maintaining the quality and tradition of horseradish production.
