Official statistical activity:
For many decades, the Institute of Agricultural Economics (AKI) has been Hungary's most important research and knowledge centre for public and governmental tasks, with significant agro-economic databases and policy experience. The AKI and its predecessors have been serving the Hungarian agricultural economy and the Hungarian countryside since 1954. One third of the institute's more than 100 staff are engaged in research, the rest in information organisation and analysis. Its activities contribute to the scientific basis of practical government work and agricultural policy, while at the same time it consciously strives to make its results accessible to the participants and partners of the agricultural economy. The Agricultural Statistical Information System facilitates the work of the participants in the sector, agricultural governance and agricultural research, by disseminating the processed information widely, by providing the basis for and facilitating the decision-making mechanisms of the various user groups (producers, processors, professional organisations, governing bodies). The three pillars of the RDI are the Directorate for Information Systems, the Directorate for Agricultural Economics and the Directorate for Sustainability Research. The institute's research focuses on the EU's Common Agricultural Policy and monitors global trends in agriculture and the food industry, competitiveness, income distribution ratios and land tenure policy. It also researches rural livelihoods and incomes, the state of the environment and ways of preserving rural assets. The Directorate for Information Systems operates EU-compliant information systems, which are important for research and practice, and which also help us to meet our EU data reporting obligations. These include:
- Test Operating System (FADN)
- Market Price Information System (MARIS)
- Agricultural Statistics Information System (ASIR)
The range of official statistics produced:
The FADN, as a member of the HSSZ, collects official statistical data through 15 OSAP data collections.
