Plantation-like wood production as a possibility of the transformation of agricultural structure and at the same time of its environment protecting cultivation

In 2000, the Hungarian agriculture will be able to produce the present quantity of products on an arable land smaller than the present area by 1 241 000 ha. For the sake of the total social interest, it is desirable to increase the area of the forests. According to the estimation of the agrarian sector, the lands which can be utilized for other cultivation amount to one million ha. If an afforestation of 7000 ha - within this an intensive timber production - would be realized within 20-25 years, the percentage of afforestation would increase from the present 18 o/o to 25 o/o during a quarter century. This would need a structural transformation in agriculture which requires the development of appropriate investment-, financial- and interest forms, in which the state support could be a smaller proportion - 30-40 o/o -, and the greater part could be self-supported. The poplar can be grown with a cost-proportional profit of about 7 o/o even on sites which are marginal for it, but today the cultivation of the lands of average quality is also questionable, and the plantation of poplar on these lands is more promising
