In 2022, the area dedicated to spring and autumn garlic cultivation in Hungary will slightly decrease to 778 hectares from 796 hectares last year, making it the country's largest vegetable in terms of cultivation area, with an annual yield of approximately 7,000 tons. Despite this, Hungary's self-sufficiency in garlic is not met, with the country needing to import garlic to supplement domestic production, primarily from France and Turkey. The National Chamber of Agriculture emphasizes the quality of Hungarian garlic, which is preferred for its superior taste and aroma, and encourages consumer support for local farmers by choosing domestic garlic over imports.
