In ten years, between 2010 and 2020, the number of agricultural farms in Hungary fell by 31 percent. Farms became concentrated, crop structure, crop production and animal husbandry were separated – according to the final results of the Agricultural Census 2020 conducted by the Central Statistical Office (KSH) on Thursday published on its website with analyzes and tables.

Hungarian agricultural farms are concentrated

Patay Ágnes, the project manager of the survey, mentioned the structural transformation of Hungarian agriculture at the presentation of the Agricultural Census 2020 at KSH’s online press conference on Thursday. According to the data, mainly the smallest farms have disappeared since 2010, but the majority of the 241,000 farms are still small. The proportion of medium-sized ones rose from 9 percent to 17 percent. The decline in livestock keepers is above average, at 53 percent, but as there are more and more larger farms among them, the number of animals has not changed substantially in 10 years. (MTI)
