Hungary is the world's second largest exporter of frozen corn, after the United States, and the leading European exporter of canned corn, along with France. The country grows sweet corn on an average of 30-34 thousand hectares, with Hajdú-Bihar county having the largest plantation. The harvest is expected to be delayed and decreased due to spring drought and heavy rains, and there is potential for damage from autumn frosts. Over 95 percent of the sweet corn produced domestically is exported, with the rest processed locally. The climate and cultivation technology in Hungary are well-suited for sweet corn production, and the crop is used in various processed forms and for fresh consumption.
