Hungary has recently become a member of the European Union and most of the economic benefits are expected to come from expanded trade with other EU nations. Hungary must be able to compete on the basis of quality and price in order to maintain current domestic markets and sell more to other EU countries. Hungary has favourable conditions for agriculture: fertile plains, an advantageous climate and production experience, which makes possible a total yearly agricultural and food products trade surplus fluctuating between 1.5 and 2 billion US dollars for the last 12 years. This article examines the Hungarian food policy (1) before the transformation to a market oriented system, when the policy was quantity orientated, (2) during the pre-accession period, when quality policy became more important, and (3) after accession to the EU where food safety has become more important.
