A magyar agrárgazdaság az EU-csatlakozást követő években
The Hungarian Agriculture after the EU-Acces

Summary/Abstract: Hungary has been a member of the European Union (EU) for ten years. As an EU Member State, the country’s agriculture is part of a large but competitive market that provides great opportunities. However, farmers have to face intense competition. The study’s database of statistical and other information systems shows that agriculture has benefited from EU-accession. Although countries that accessed the EU at the same time as Hungary have better exploited the opportunities, many more issues should be considered in addition to integration. The production level would not have reached the current volume, product sales on foreign markets would have faced more challenges, and the rural quality of life and employment rates would have shown even worse results. The emphasis of the study is on the changes of Hungary’s role in the international agricultural economy, the pre-tax results of enterprises, development of profitability in the main sectors resulting from the balance between production volumes and value of products, support and its effects, the economic characteristics of food processing, and foreign and domestic market trends.
