In recent years the analyses of direct sales has been a very difficult task for our department because of the lack of statistical data. As the domestic small and medium-sized food companies struggle to gain market access we decided to write a study about direct sales. As part of the study Author visited farmers personally and carried out face to face interviews. In this paper it was aimed to focus on introducing the direct selling of Hungarian wine and dairy products and on defining its potential development pathways. Examining the possible development levels, it was established that the certain stages of development do not necessarily mean that a new stage of business results in more success, however the possibilities of selling and options could be expanded. So, before development the managers should consider and map out the new possibilities and impacts. An uncontrolled development or investment, the cost of which has to be paid over several years, could cut off the future evolution of the company.
