Abstract

The author reviews the up and downs of Hungarian agriculture in the context of the overall history of Hungary. After a brief description of the structure of Hungarian agriculture and the socio–economic conditions surrounding it at the beginning of the 20th century, he demonstrates with statistical data the impact of the two World Wars on its productive forces and its output, respectively. He also deals in details with the three crutial politically motivated structural changes influencing Hungarian agriculture. The land reform of 1945, the collectivisation in the 50s and 60s, and the reversal of these in the 90s. Time series on the output of both crop and animal products, mostly covering the whole 20th century, are also presented.
