Food loss in the Hungarian food industry - Examining quantification problems and attitudes of managers and their impact on policy.

The food industry is estimated to be the second biggest generator of food losses after households. The novelty of this paper is that it focuses on this less analysed sector, conducting exploratory research based on a detailed primary survey among Hungarian food processors with a uniquely large sample of 175 respondents. A SPSS program was used to analyse the data, generating descriptive statistics, statistical tests for exploring relationships between variables and cluster analysis for classifying respondents based on their attitudes towards the problem.
