Abstract: The concern of the current paper is the evolution of the position of agriculture and the agro-food production system at large in the economic structure in four transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe, namely Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia; applying the input – output analytical technique. In particular, a number of inter-sectoral linkage indices, including the normalized ones are constructed, estimated, and compared between two time periods during and after transition. The results of the exercise show that domestic backward and forward inter-industry linkages of both the primary sector and the food–beverages industry, contrary to expectations have become weaker in the examined countries during and after transition.
