Abstract

Due to the natural conditions agriculture played a definitive role in the Hungarian economy in the past and even today. The share of agriculture in the GDP is 3.7 percent, and agricultural land area is 63 percent of the total. According to the General Agricultural Census 2000 almost 1 million units were engaged in any kind of agricultural activity. The agricultural sector experienced dynamic growth during a few short periods in the second part of the past century, as the measures introduced in 1945, 1961 and 1990 resulted in structural changes which then completely reshaped the production conditions prevailing during the preceding years, through the introduction of new agricultural policies and changes in land ownership. In the 1990s production was below the level of the period between 1989–1990. In the study the authors analyse the sectoral characteristics of the changes in agricultural production by type of holdings.
