Abstract
From one System to another. The situation of the agro-alimentary sector in Czechoslovakia. Harsb monetary and wage policy, the freeing up of prices of industrial and trade monopolies projected for privatization have brought about in 1991 a fall in the real income of consumers and farmers. In view of international food markets high costs inherited from communist agrarian structures and from obsolete food industry and trade require now import duties and quotas, a minimal support of farm prices, subsidized exports, and above ail agricultural recession. Quick efficient agricultural restructuring is unlikely through the mere privatizing of land and capital. Foreign investment is likely only in downstream processes. Growing risks of social crisis and Slovakian separatism call for an active industrial policy in the agrifood sector.
