On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on fresh or dried bananas and plantains in Hungary face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying fresh or dried bananas and plantains to Hungary? How important is Hungary compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of fresh or dried bananas and plantains vary from one country of origin to another in Hungary? On the supply side, Hungary also exports fresh or dried bananas and plantains. Which countries receive the most exports from Hungary? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for fresh or dried bananas and plantains in Hungary. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for fresh or dried bananas and plantains for those countries serving Hungary via exports, or supplying from Hungary via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Hungary fits into the world market for imported and exported fresh or dried bananas and plantains. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Hungary in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Hungary is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Hungary compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes..
