      abstract = {The general objective of this study is to present the main  problems, potential outlooks and challenges
of the  Hungarian dairy sector in connection with the general  social and economic situation. Problems
that have been  implicated as playing a role in the low competitiveness of  Hungarian dairy supply chain arise
from the internal  capabilities of the sector and the country. Most of these  problems are relative and emerge
when it comes to  comparison with competitors. It is a fact that Hungary,  regarding its current position,
has become a potential  market offered by dominant milk producing member states in  the EU and existing,
traditional dairy product brands have  been mostly lost to foreign companies. This follows  directly from
low self-sufficiency, unexploited quota  looking back to several subsequent years and unfavourable  export/
import structure (raw consumer milk is dominant in  export, whereas high value-added processed products  in
import) in Hungary. As a result of the abolition of the  EU milk quota system, milk production may rearrange
in the  EU, posing a serious threat unless the competitiveness of  Hungarian dairy supply chain is improved.},
