Abstract
During the past twenty-five years two radical changes shaped the structure of Hungarian agriculture: the land reform in 1945 and the socialist transformation between 1948 and 1961, largely completed in 1960–1961. In 1945, large estates were liquidated and the agricultural structure changed over to small-scale farming. As a result of the socialist transformation in 1961, about three thousand cooperative and state farms were in existence to carry on large-scale agricultural production; almost a million household plots remained or were brought into being.
