Hungary imported €666 million of goods in the customs headings matched to cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and nuts in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 0802, 1005, 1001, 0709, 0805 and 10 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 10.2% from 2023.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Hungary — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €30.3 billion in 2025, 13.8% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
