Abstract
In this paper we have sought to answer three research questions: what was the difference between the
agricultural export growth rates of the Visegrád Group countries following the EU accession; how did the
multifactor productivity in the countries under study evolve; and could a correlation be observed between the
growth rates of the multifactor productivity and of the agricultural exports. The average annual growth rate
of the multifactor productivity was highest in Poland, followed by the growth rate in Slovakia, in Hungary
and in the Czech Republic. The average annual growth rates of the exports of agricultural raw materials and
of the total food economy had identical rankings except for Hungary. The results of the analysis allow the
presumption that the different annual average growth rates of the multifactor productivity of agriculture have
also influenced the development of the agricultural export performance of the countries under study.
