Abstract
In Hungary, small- and medium-sized farms generally use public consulting services, like the village consultant network or interbank organisations, to obtain information about the current regulations, marketing trends and prices. They use some private consultant company services as well, mainly to improve their production technology and project management skills. There are examples of successful market channel integration in the poultry and milk sectors. Contractual relationships prevail, but trust also plays an important role in partnerships with food-processing companies. Drought and hail are the two main weather risk factors in Hungarian agriculture. There is a huge deficit in the reliable blue-collar workers on the labour market. Through some market-based services, universities, colleges and research centres can help agricultural managers to improve their efficiency.
