As the upcoming U.S. presidential election draws near, examining how Hungarian society perceives relations and cooperation opportunities with the United States becomes particularly relevant. A comprehensive public opinion survey by Századvég provides unique insights into this issue. The survey results highlight that while Hungarians generally support closer cooperation, they view U.S. cultural influence and international engagement critically. The research also explores how Hungarian public opinion perceives the potential impact of the November 5th U.S. presidential election on bilateral relations.

The establishment of sustainable supply chains not only serves to protect the environment, but also contributes to improving the competitiveness of companies through more efficient resource management and cost reduction. Despite all of this, the results of our research examining the situation of the Hungarian dairy sector show that the inequalities in the supply chain between milk producers, processors and traders, as well as the labour shortage and the energy crisis cause significant problems for businesses operating in the sector. This makes it difficult to implement the developments necessary for growth, production that is more efficient and processing procedures. At the same time, it is a positive result that nearly two-thirds of the examined enterprises plan to carry out improvements in the next 2-3 years, which can contribute to the more efficient and sustainable operation of the enterprises.
