1. KITE (Corn and Industrial Plant Production Cooperative), Hungary

KITE was established in 1972 through having combined nine agricultural collective farms under the auspices of the Red Star Cooperative in Nadudvar.

First it was acting as a non-profit organization. Their goal was to make use the latest achievements of the science and technics and to use up-to-date production lines, seeds, chemicals and fertilizers. A further goal of theirs was to master and utilize modern technology, labour and industrial engineering related methods required for the operation of up-to-date means of production and capital goods. KITE having been successful is proved by the fact that after less than five years had elapsed the number of its member farms jumped up to over 400 units of which the total size of plow land reached cca. 1,4 Million hectares. One can judge this number if to note that this figure makes up 30 % of all arable land in Hungary. Also the mechanization shortly started to show a quick development. In 1973 the machinery stock was made up by 16 pcs John Deere tractors the number of which after two years grew up to as much as more than five hundred with this dynamic growth having remained also during the subsequent years.

KITE withdrew as of January 1, 1990 from the Red Star Cooperative of Nadudvar and continued operating further as Corn and Industrial Plant Production Cooperative which was joined by cca. 80 % of the former membership having contributed to its assets. After that KITE went on to operate as an independent and profit oriented company thereby proceeding further with the accomplishment and development of their goals.
