Abstract
In the context of agro-holdings with strong vertical integration, the development of corporate farming is shaping a new agricultural geography in Central Europe. Product of a singular history, the large farm was used as a base to the penetration of capitalism in agriculture and the balance of power which specify it. It is the economic, and even more political, modalities of capital accumulation in its various components that account for the growing grip of agribusiness over land as well as on the production machinery. The purpose of this article is to examine the economic logic behind its expansion in post-collectivist agriculture in Central Europe.
