In Hungarian agriculture, cereals—specifically wheat and corn (maize)—are the most important crops.1
Other significant agricultural products include:
- Sugar beets1
- Potatoes1
- Sunflower seeds1
- Fruits, notably apples, grapes, and plums1
Additionally, viticulture is a significant practice, particularly in the Northern Mountains region. While Hungary also raises livestock such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry, the sector underwent substantial reductions in the 1990s as part of government efforts to address overproduction.1
