Abstract

Viticultural statistics is a part of Hungarian agricultural statistics having a long and eventful history. Though data on vine-growing and vine-production from the period before the Austrian statistical service are also available, confident figures emerged only in the last third of the XIXth century. The censuses of 1895 and 1935, covering orchards the first time along with the vineyards and vine-production, are also important sources of historical data. Censuses of the plantations were conducted in the second half of the 1950s and the first half of the 1960s. Then, after a forty-year gap, the census of 2001, compliant with the EU standards, followed. In addition to the historical background, the author provides a detailed account of the preliminary findings of the vineyard and orchard census of 2001.
