Privatization and Restructuring in the Agro-Food Industry

Chapter 3 in Strategies of Multinationals in Central and Eastern Europe, 2009, pp 75-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents the agro-food sector reforms in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria in the 1990s. It reveals how the different restructuring policies1 (restitution, transformation, and privatization) in the four CEECs influenced the development of the agricultural sector and the food processing companies. It also analyzes the impact of these policies on FDI. My core argument is that the preservation and effective restructuring of existing socialist production networks helped the formation of transnational linkages between local companies and multinationals, which has created the conditions for industrial upgrading.
