The questions of Hungarian Short Food Supply Chains

Abstract

There is a growing interest in the topic of short food supply chains (SFSC) in the EU and Hungary. There is larger act in the EU's 2014-2020 programmes for the development of SFSC. There were some measures included shortening the distance between the producer and the consumer and the need for market-building to bring local products to local stores. The SFSC would be the tool of developing of peripheral areas. But it could help the village town relation. Current producer capacity, consumer demand and legal and regulatory conditions, short supply chains make fewer consumers available than potential consumers, may pose a food safety risk and are difficult to ensure the profitability of the legitimate food producer. It is necessary to develop this way to solve these problems.
