Despite that Hungarians like apple very much and consume it regularly, the apple consumption per capita a year has been around 14 kgs for years. The aim of this survey was to reveal consumer behaviour to apple, and it was based on primary data collection. We had 30 species of apple tasted and assessed by their appearance, which was conducted by 153 respondents. This value judgment was based on five traits of apple, namely taste, flesh, peel, colour, and size-shape. It is important to lay down that this is not a publication on how decisions were made on buying apple, rather on value judgement of consumers on apple as a product.

Spirits arrived in Hungary by the mediation of foreign countries, and were used as medicine in the royal court already in the XIV. Century. The first written presence of the pAilinka as a word originated in Debrecen (1572). The quality and alcohol degree of these drinks were increased continuously, and rose to ’Hungaricum’ rank due to several factors such as the quality of the fruit stock grown in our country, the technical development of distillers and several centuryold professional experience. Mitterpacher, who distinguished the main parts of the equipment, reviewed the determination methods of alcohol content, and made a proposal for coating the inner surface of the cauldron with tin in favour of the preparation of the high-quality product, played an important role in the establishment of the literature of pAilinka distillation. Subcontract distillation, considered as an individual peculiarity in the European Union, developed during a long time in Hungary. It was facilitated by the regulation of distillery plants allowing the operation also for private persons from 1983. The fame of Hungarian national drink increased greatly when the meaning of pAilinka was defined punctually: those drinks could be called ’pAilinka’, which had 100% fruit content containing no additives, prepared in Hungary and their alcohol content was at least 37.5%. According to conservative evaluation, more than 50% of the Hungarian adult population consumes pAilinka occasionally. The majority of the adult population believes that a small amount of pAilinka is good for health; many people use it for the alleviation of toothache, sore throat and stomachache. PAilinka has a mood-enhancing impact at social parties and pleasant family events, if consumed in moderation. This paper is an overview of the history of Hungarian pAilinka. This is the first part of the article. In the second part we analyze cost-benefit circumstances, and we also deal with the main problematic issue, namely the effect of tax-free production in Hungary and in the European Union.

The following data were collected from the Agricultural and Rural Development Institute on payments under specific subsidy titles, classified by sheep and goat farm sizes: 0-50; 51-100, 101-200, 201-300 and also 0-100, 101-300, 301-500, 501-1000, 1001-5000 and above 5000. Data procession was carried out by the SPSS for Windows 22 program. The size and population of the examined sheep sector underwent visible changes during the studied years leading to a reduction rather than growth. Their analysis highlights that size distribution of sheep farms has changed significantly in recent years, combined with simultaneous modifications of their sheep stock sizes in production. Their conclusions suggest that effects of years and farm sizes in the sheep and goat sector have co...
