Abstract
AbstractThis chapter looks at the past 20 years of transition towards democratic and free market economies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In the 20 years since the fall of communism, the agricultural sectors of the CEE countries have done quite well overall. Market oriented reform is complete nearly everywhere, and EU accession has brought significant benefits to the farmers of the new member states. Pressures to conform to EU standards have led to considerable consolidation within the processing sector and a growing share of production is being produced on commercialized farms. In general, the CEE farmers have fared considerably better than their counterparts in the former Soviet Union, where governments have been far slower to embrace market reforms.
