Hungary is an increasingly important player in the meat industry
In recent years, Central European agriculture has emerged as a pivotal player in the continent’s agrarian landscape, particularly in the fields of animal husbandry and feed production. The region is experiencing a shift in production from Western Europe due to changes in dietary habits and stringent animal welfare and environmental regulations. This has notably increased the importance of Poland, Hungary, and Romania in the European agricultural market.
Investments like UBM’s expansion in Romania, which established a major feed production facility, reflect the region’s growing role. The demand for poultry, which is perceived as a healthier alternative to red meat, continues to rise, supported by consumer preferences and convenience.
The conflict in Ukraine also influences the sector, potentially reshaping the grain and feed market dynamics as the country edges closer to the EU. Central European countries are preparing to meet these challenges and opportunities, with a strong focus on enhancing their agricultural output and expanding export capabilities.
In summary, Central Europe is strategically positioning itself as a key agricultural hub in Europe, driven by both internal growth and external geopolitical factors.
