      abstract = {Prior to enlargement regulations and the subsidy system  played an important role in
stabilising, especially, the  livestock sectors, producers got used to national  intervention
mechanism, and production became rather  insensitive to market signals. This, along with
other  shortcomings, caused serious problems in the process of  opening the domestic markets
during the EU integration  process.
In this paper, after discussing the evolution of  the Hungarian agricultural policy, we focus on
the major  agricultural sectors in the context of the development of  agricultural and food trade
in Hungary after EU  enlargement. Despite excess stocks of cereals, the  prospects for the
major feed grain consuming sectors (i.e.  dairy, pig meat and broiler meat production) to
expand look  rather slim in the mid-term. Meat and dairy producers will  face the burdens of
adjustment in the livestock sectors and  the anticipated boom of biofuel production in
Hungary.},
