State of supply concerning technical resources of private farms over the northern part of the hungarian great plain

Vizdák, Károly

Relevant Hungarian publications as well as results of our own research indicate that in comparison with western, more developed countries that in Hungary the hauling capacity of farms is low, and the machines used are unable to produce the quality required. Most machines are over-age and do not fit the recently transformed structure of properties. The actual level of mechanisation is a limiting factor of development and does not apply any more to the norms of the EU, which is a matter of concern for the period ahead. Hungarian agriculture suffers competitive drawbacks because its low supplies of technical equipment. Those general statements, however, have to be specified according to the region or even to individual farms because the variation is wide. Local, regional or even central decisions have to be based on exact knowledge of the actual objects. The study aims to clear the possible details necessary to synthesise the data raised in order to gain information concerning the interaction of local resources and technical equipment referring to a micro-region of the northern Hungarian Great Plain.
