Summary/Abstract: With the world’s growing population the significance of the food producing sector as well as mushroom growing is constantly increasing. Great improvement is waiting for the mushroom sector in Hungary based on the expected development efforts and trends during the period until 2020.Experts often mention the fact that nowadays neither products nor enterprises but supply chains are competing in the market. This is also true for mushrooms, namely those companies and participants will be the winners who can satisfy customers’ dynamically changing needs faster and more exactly, or can provide the customers with their needs regularly and in a reliable way. The goal of the study is to present the supply chain in the Hungarian mushroom (primarily agaricus) sector, to determine the most important participants of the supply chain and their fundamental role in the added value creation according to the end product’s sustainable production and quality.
