The Hungarian food trade significantly changed during the privatization taken place in the '90s. As in other developed countries in the turn of millennium, the so-called modern distribution channels (hypermarkets, supermarkets, discount stores) took the leading role in Hungary as well, throwing the traditional trade channels into the shade. The turnover of domestic retail trade has shown a downturn since 2007, though the food retail trade has regressed less but the unfavorable trend also prevails here. The earnings before taxes of the Hungarian food retail trade considerably decreased between 2005 and 2010 while the regression was substantially less in the wholesale trade. ROA (Return on Assets) of the Hungarian food trade was very low between 2005 and 2010. In the present study, by means of R statistical system, the statistical analysis of data from the annual reports of undertakings performing food retail activities as grocery stores in the Northern Great Plain region, in the period between 2013 and 2018 are presented.
