Over fifteen years have elapsed since the transition from the centrally planned economic system started in the early 1990âs. During this time agricultural and rural areas of Central and Eastern Europe have undergone profound structural changes with wide variations in the degree of...

In order to analyse risks and to choose from different decision-making strategies simulation models are often applied in several areas of animal breeding. We developed an improved Monte Carlo model for analysing laying hen breeding combined with Bayes’ statistics. On the basis of data from a...

In many ways, the Hungarian pork chain faces considerable disadvantages when compared to the situation in competing countries. In countries endowed with a modern meat chain, heavy concentration is the rule, but in Hungary decentralization still prevails, although thankfully the chain is not...

The culling of the sows is an important task of the breeders and farmers, besides it is a determining factor of profitable pork production. During our research we have surveyed the data of 1969 sows in a Hungarian large-scale pig farm. For the calculation of our results we used one of the...

Hungary became the member of European Union in 2004. The authors want to show that, though, many sectors of Hungarian agriculture have been operating at low level of technology and efficiency; there was a big expectation about the fast catching up with accession to European Union. This paper...

Az Európai Unió bárányból, illetve gidából tartósan behozatalra szorul. A magyar juhhúsexport több mint 90%-a az olasz, a maradék döntő része pedig görög piacra irányul. A juhágazat árbevételének – 2-13 milliárd Ft – több mint 90%-a a báránykereskedelemből...

Magyarországon a bárányhizlalás az utóbbi nyolc évben általában veszteséges volt, és csak két súlykategóriában – 24-27 kg és 27-30 kg – volt érdemes értékesíteni, mert itt az évek többségében eltérő mértékű, de szerény jövedelem keletkezett. A 20-24 kg-os...

Fruit production in the world is increasing continuously. Though in the past few years China and some South-American countries have extended their fruit producing areas, Europe remains to be one of the greatest fruit producers in the world. In the middle of Europe Hungary has to face several...

A magyar juhágazat jövedelmi helyzetét 1998-2005 között vizsgálva azt mondhatjuk, hogy az ágazat minden évben veszteséges volt, bruttó jövedelmet két évben, 2001-ben és 2002-ben ért el. A juhtartással foglalkozó gazdálkodók a különféle támogatási lehetőségek maximális...
