The paper investigates spatial changes in cultivation and land use of wheat, maize and oilseedin Hungarian agriculture using different methods to measure these changes. The results suggestthat spatial structure of crop productions has remained fairly stable during analysed period. Thespatial concentration increased significantly for wheat and maize production and maize landuse, whilst the changes were not significant for other cases. Estimates confirm the presence ofspatial autocorrelation for all cases. The degree of spatial autocorrelation has no unambiguouspattern over time, except for maize production. Finally, we have not found significant relationshipmeasured by PSE index between agricultural support and spatial concentration, but estimatesshow positive and significant effects of the share of private farms in the production of certaincrops on spatial concentration.
