Efficiency of farm assets is a very important factor of competitive production. It could be in strong correlation with profitability of economic activities. One of the most important factor of the farm assets is the fixed assets, and as a part of it, the equipment as well. An important factor of the farm asset value is the machinery, which depends on the amount of internal resources of farms and external financial resources i.e. governmental subsidies, bank loans. But, as it could be observed during the 1980s and 1990s on the farms of developed countries, the technical development was also a considerable factor of farming. This paper, based on the data of the FADN, and yearbooks of the HCSO, focuses on the investigation of some figures of the European Union for capital efficiency between 1989 and 2004, and compares these experiences with the Hungarian changes on the farms during the 1990s.

During the two decades after the transition the technical and technological development of the Hungarian agriculture was determined by the preparation for the EU accession and the adequacy to the performance and technological requirements of the new farm structure of the post-transition era. After the accession the quality based change of farm equipment was characteristic by modern, high performance units which were suitable to meet the requirements of the environmental sustainability, improving the competitive production of farms. In the small scale private farms the rollout of the old and depreciated tools were slower than the investments. This was unfavorable for the expected decrease of the average age of the farm assets. The research is based on the database of the censuses of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office.

The Hungarian agriculture went through a considerable changes during the 1990s. Because of the need to change the former economic-social structure agriculture suffered the biggest structural transformation in this period. It was not only the privatisation of agricultural capital assets but thousands and thousands of structurally new farms were established, but their farms size and as a result their profit abilities related to it do not provide a favourable potential for sustainable development. The structural changes were not organic so as a result of them the new economic structure was formed by political considerations and not by the usual mechanisms of economy. At the same time the past decade has proved that the inner rules of the economic system are in operation. The concentration of small holdings is underway, furthermore the size of holdings determined by ownership and by production is very different from each other. As a result of a wave of lending of land the average farm size is much larger than the average farm size determined by ownership.

The economic-political transformation of the Eastem-Central-European countries resulted in important changes, which did not leave untouched the agrarian sector either. In almost all the countries applying for the affiliation to the European Community, the situation of agriculture is a serious problem. The lecture-examining first of all the processes in Hungary - looks for the answer to the question, what kind of alternatives of the technical development of agriculture there are, in what extent the different solutions came to the fore or were ignored in the decade of transition. Beside the solution of the co-operatives, - in a manner of speaking - instead of it, the profit-purposive wage-enterprises with machines, namely a form with features of an enterprise, together with the machinery and farm-aiding club form, which operates on a non-profit basis, and is based on the utilization of mutual benefits, as well as the machinery association connected to the latter one gain ground increasingly. The different forms mean different cost of renounced profit, at the same time, the benefits of their spread are also considerable. These give an extra resource, which ensures the technical-economic development of the enterprises and their closing up to their Westem-European competitors.

The technical-technological level of Hungarian agriculture is increasingly left behind by countries with more developed agriculture especially by the Member States of the European Union. This drawback can be traced back to several factors. Taking a look back to investments having been carried out recently we found that most farmers focused on developing a standard asset stock which is not enough to supply the whole process of production. At the same time the average age of assets in agriculture - due to an unsatisfactory level of new investments - has exceeded 12-15 years. Following the international tendencies of farm machinery the picture shows that even in those countries where most farms are small, supply and demand of high performance machines which require high performance tractors are dominant. What is the way out? Find and adopt solutions which in many countries of the world have already proved to be suitable to satisfy the capacity needs of farms in a way which for them means a low capital demand. The most typical solutions are: hire an entrepreneur and draw on his service; borrow machines from a company with a lending activity; establish an association for obtaining machines - mainly special ones - which farmers will use collectively; establishing cooperatives for jointly obtaining and operating machines for production and establishing links to help each other operating the machines. The research was supported by the National Science Fund of Hungary (OTKÁ T037519).

In 2004, eight Central and Eastern European countries joined the European Union. Their agriculture was significantly behind the majority of the 15 former EU member countries both from technical and productivity perspectives. In the common market the competitiveness of products and producers is a key factor. One important factor of competitiveness is labour productivity, which can be divided into partial factors such as technical equipment (tools) and the resulting productivity from those tools. The study examines the changes of these two partial productivity factors in Poland and Hungary as well as the countries integrated in 2004. The research question was whether the Central and Eastern European countries were able to shorten the gap behind EU-15 countries. The results indicate that over the course of a decade labour productivity in Hungarian farms increased, however, the pace of farm investments lagged far behind the EU-15 countries, resulting in more efficient capital use. The rate of Polish farm investments in agriculture was higher than that of the EU-15 countries, while the relative disadvantage in labour productivity, as well as in capital productivity did not decrease.

The accession of Central-Eastern European countries in 2004 and 2007 has placed the agriculture of these countries in the context of new economic policy and market competition. Former research has led to the conclusion that the majority of agricultural producers in the countries of the region are at a significant disadvantage in regards to productivity compared to the farmers of the countries integrated into the EU earlier. The research has examined what – if any – changes have been made during the elapsed period and whether there is any convergence in regard to country groups and different farm size units to the level of farming productivity in field crop farms of more developed countries. The research was based on EU FADN data which provided data until 2009. Figures of five full fiscal years are enough to reveal some tendencies. The research has evaluated the characteristics of changes (with longitudinal analysis) by utilizing the indices of partial efficiency. By using the status attainment theory, an attempt was made to find an explanatory context between the components with income generating capacity for farms and labour productivity. The main conclusion of the research is that the convergence of countries and the varying economic size of farms were differentiated and productivity substantially affected the added value of production potential.

Signs of the crisis of the Hungarian agriculture are in relation with the economic and social model that has become rigid throughout the past two decades. The evolved structure of agricultural holdings the networks among the farmers have been restructured as well as have become losen. The degree of trust has decreased. Based on the principles of the modern economic schools, e.g. the game theory, the study examines how the existing trust level among farmers affects the farmers’ preferences of choice among the different forms of dependencies, as well as which factors affect the individual utility functions, focused on the role of subsidies from the social transaction costs. Due to the information asymmetry between farmers and the lack of confidence, the individual and the social expenditures are higher than economically justifable. Based on a simulation model the paper examines the payoffs of the farms as well as the community from the point of view of machinery use and investment strategies.

The business experts could witness major changes in the targets of intemational Capital flow during the last two decades. The Central-Eastem European economic and social transition that was started in the early I990s has created good conditions for the intemational investments. The new target of foreign direct investments - besides the Asian regions - depended on the changes of political and economic system going on in the countries concerned. The different pace of changes and the privatization of state properties determined the share of individual countries from the capital import. The early eminent countries were replaced by new eminent ones, and the capital inflow replaced brown field investments - that dominated at the beginning - with green field investments. The paper examines the worldwide and regional tendencies of foreign direct investments of the I990’s and the 2000’s, the share of individual countries within the region as well as the changes in the sectoral distribution. Relations are searched for the changes of position of Hungary, as well as among the economic-social processes in the country.

The global grape and wine market has been rearranged during the past 15 years. Over the course of events, as new world wines gained ground, further emerging countries joined in and the production of old world wines decreased, giving rise to a new era. It was affected by globalization that placed concentrated markets in an advantageous position. As a result, there is a growing emphasis on the formation of vine growth and wine production collaboration networks in case of both the new world and European countries, which are able to provide solutions to global challenges arising as a result of global wine market development. In European wine producing countries with great traditions, integration, necessary for the stable operation of the sector, was established much earlier, typically in the form of producer cooperatives. In new areas, concentration began later, thus forming clusters constituting an appropriate form in many cases. This paper examines the necessity of cooperation and overviews the advantages and drawbacks that can be obtained from it. It compares wine producing collaboration networks in European countries and areas overseas. The aim of the study is to find the most important attributes leading to success.

Achievements, efficiency of the East European agriculture - after EU-accession of the region - became directly comparable with those of the farms, operating in other member-states of the Union. In the course of our research - taking into account this competitive situation - by means of a survey made in private farms and cooperatives of a Hungarian settlement, it was examined, that what are the characteristics of the production structure after one decade and a half following the change of regime in farms of the region, keeping on traditionally with agrarian production, how do the degree of supply with assets, modernness of equipment, asset- and capital efficiency develop in the farms and what kinds of over capacities and under capacities can be experienced. On the basis of the data resulting from the survey, model calculations were made to state, that to what an extent could the solutions, serving for increasing capital efficiency (commission work by machine owner entrepreneurs, cooperatives) increase capital - and equipment efficiency of the farms. According to the results obtained, capital tie-up could be decreased to less than about a quarter of it, without endangering reasonable farming. Such rate of reduction of the fixed cost ratio of the costs of machine work, having a share of about 35-40% in the costs of field crop production may result in an efficiency improvement of 5-7% points.

The trade of agricultural products on commodity exchange and the prices at the exchange are controlled by specific inner regularities. The prices are considerably affected by the cyclicality of production, the annual yield fluctuation by countries (internal market) and world production (world market), as well as the demand for products. The prices are partly independent from other commodity exchange products. The paper analyses the forward deals (by exchange technical analysis and statistical methods) in the grain section of the Budapest Stock Exchange in Hungary in order to prove that the commodity exchange products, too, could not temporarily be kept away from the impact of financial crisis which started in summer 2008. Temporarily, the stock exchange processes pulled the grain market prices down, which badly influenced the income and receipts positions, but made a price correction in the fodder maize and fodder wheat prices which slipped out of control in 2007. This latter fact made the position of livestock farmers more favourable.

After the political and economic changes of the early 1990s in Hungary, a large number of privatelyowned farms were set up, which continue to be plagued by structural and efficiency problems as well as dilemmas regarding the allocation of resources, largely due to unfounded and improvisative support policies. In Western European agricultural sectors, different forms of cooperation have been established and practised for a long time and have proven adequate; on the other hand, local adaptations are repeatedly unsuccessful because of the reluctance of farmers in Hungary. The study aims at exploring the relationship between the farmers willingness to cooperate and the characteristics of the farm, and at describing the factors or traits that encourage or discourage cooperation. In addition, the paper discusses the efficiency of the currently available forms of cooperation, and assesses the feasibility of a competitive agricultural sector based on the cooperation and association of farmers.

The competitiveness of agriculture in countries of the Central-Eastern European region depend not only on the quality of production but also on the organization of product marketing. The producers of the region should face the fact that the Western European producers are usually better at organizing all the phases of production process (purchase, production partnerships, processing, marketing). The key element of cooperation is trust. The article, starting from some theoretical foundations of institutional economics (relations of agency theory and moral hazard), and adapting Sholtes. trust model [1998] we tested the issues of trust and cooperation willingness on the basis of the data of a Hungarian survey in order to find out the degree of cooperation that can be identified in the machine use which has key role in production process and, how it depends on the level of existing trust among farmers.

A simplified cDNA cloning protocol was elaborated, easily scalable to very different sizes of plant tissue. The mRNA fraction was extracted from a single wheat kernel with oligo dT magnetic beads. The solid-phase mRNA was transcribed into single-strand cDNA by reverse transcription. Then DNA tags were incorporated into the ds cDNA fragments prior to PCR amplification. The amplified DNA was ligated to a T overhang cloning vector and some of the resulting clones were sequenced. These sequences were identified by BLASTN search in wheat EST databases.

Nowadays, apart from the IT development, the information management is becoming increasingly significant as well, which opens new potentials for companies, as they can obtain competitive advantage using it. This wave of development can sharpen the competition further, which motivates the managements even more to use their resources available more efficiently, thus reaching better results. This phenomenon is increasingly present in the agriculture as well, as the intensifying demand caused by the expanding population makes it more and more necessary. But in this sector the use of the opportunities offered is lower than expected.

The paper examines the drivers of trust in the machinery sharing cooperation arrangements of Hungarian fieldcrops farms. Our research has focused on the role of two factors on the basis of the widely referred trust model: faith in loyalty and capability. The empirical results clearly confirm the hypothesis of the theoretical model, namely, which partners will trust each other if their faith is high both in loyalty and in competence. Our research has also pointed out that the level of trust between partners is determined differently by the two examined factors: it is statistically proved that the impact of faith in loyalty is higher.
