Hungary: Agriculture in Hungary

A file of correspondence and reports concerning agriculture in Hungary. Subject covered in the file include the rejuvenation of Hungarian agriculture after years of backwardness; current forms of land ownership in Hungary, including state farms, cooperatives, smallholdings, and household plots; the expansion of large farms; the attitude of the communist regime to the new agricultural elite; improvements in agricultural education; and opportunities for British companies amid growing mechanisation and the use of fertilizers. Other documents in the file cover a meeting of the Anglo-Hungarian joint commission on agriculture; and a decision to raise the prices of Hungarian agricultural products and equipment, as the regime seeks to reduce subsidies for the industry.
