The Hungarian poultry industry

The Hungarian poultry industry became a dominant factor both in the national as well as in the international markets since the 1960s. What is the secret behind this success?

  • All the four major types of fowls (chicken, turkey, duck and goose) are produced in large numbers and this unusual variety of products creates the high demand for them both in the international and the national market.
  • The industrialisation of the sector proceeded in a way that the traditional values and products were preserved, and are still cultivated, as demonstrated in the production and export of Hungarian specialities like goose-liver, smoked and pickled goose breast and other types of branded products.
  • Hungarian poultry are fed on maize and herbage of unique flavour and quality and the excellent forage results in especially delicious meat even in industrial production.
  • Hungarian poultry production is based on excellent genetic basis, strict safety regulations, as well as on the historical traditions of breeding, the favourable natural and geographical conditions of the country.

It is of great importance that Hungarian poultry are fed on forage of superb quality and the highest possible safety. Cereal and maize cultivation provides a suitable base for poultry breeding regarding quantity, quality and price, as well. In Hungary maize, wheat, barley and such vegetal forage is used for poultry-feeding, which are rich in protein and all have favourable effects on the taste of the meat.
