Abstract

In the case of any state, the success of its corporate sector is a cardinal question for its national economy. Consequently, the issue of profitability of the corporate sector has always attracted considerable attention from experts dedicated to understanding successful economic functioning. Regarding academic research priorities, it is essential to identify the identifiable factors, mechanisms of action and trends that are important for the success of corporate growth. In the light of previous studies on the performance of the Hungarian food sector, the above findings are also confirmed, and the main focus of this research is to analyse the factors that play a significant role in stimulating the profitability of the Hungarian food industry. The relevant research period is mainly the period before, during and after the coronavirus epidemic.
