Summary/Abstract: The main aim of our paper is to reveal the spatial structure of Hungarian agricultural holdings by production types. It is examined how the holdings’ profile of production changed in the period between 2000 and 2010 and how it influenced their spatial pattern. Based on data collected by Farm Structure Survey (ÁMÖ) it could be stated that specialisation grew significantly, and the role of mixed farming significantly de-creased, spatial pattern of holding types significantly went under restructuring: the former mosaic picture of non-specialised regions of 2000 became more homogenized by 2010. Besides, stable poultry and vin-ery production zones evolved. Analysis of spatial pattern by cluster analysis demonstrates that the production structure shifted towards crop production due to the policy on subsidies of the EU.
