Tridge summary

Hungary has seen a significant decrease in its pepper cultivation area and production over the past decade, with the area reducing from 2,000 hectares to 1,531 hectares, and production dropping from 26.3 thousand tons in 2014 to 13.4 thousand tons in 2021. This decline has resulted in a decrease in the number of producers from 1,125 in 2012 to 726 in 2021. Despite the decline in domestic production, Hungary's reliance on imported peppers has increased, with most imports coming from Spain, followed by Slovenia and China. These imports are used to reduce the cost of domestic high-quality ground meat, despite the lower quality of the imported peppers.
