What is wrong with the concept of specialized financial institutions in the Hungarian agriculture?

In the second half of the 20th century, besides the positive benefits of intensively industrializing agriculture, social and environmental problems seriously threatening sustainable development appeared. By today, in response to the warning signals very strong expectations have been formulated regarding the agrarian sector - broadening its traditional roles -. In summary, agriculture has complex productive, regional, ecological, social and cultural functions. The social utility of the above mentioned functions is indisputable, their fulfilment is the strategic interest of all countries, and it is also the key to their sustainable development. However, there are political, economic and social conditions and processes that impede the realization of these objectives, while at the same time urge conscious measures to this effect. The aim of our study is to investigate the possible financial resources of agricultural production taking into account to a maximum extent the 'environment- and human-friendly' aspirations and to find the factors which help or hinder the competitiveness and effective financing of the agrarian sector. We examine the possibilities of establishingt and operating a state initiated agrarian bank, which up to now appeared only on a rhetoric level aimed at ensuring cheap and efficient financing of domestic agriculture, based on domestic experiences and international models.
