A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
A ministry advisory institute — or a function NÉBIH can absorb?
The Herman Ottó Intézet provides advisory and coordination work for agriculture and rural development. Its 656 millió Ft is phased out over three years; any genuine regulatory work returns to NÉBIH.
Roughly 160 Ft per taxpayer per year — 656 millió Ft total — for an institute whose advisory and coordination functions are substantially available commercially or through producer organisations.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: a ministry background institute providing knowledge and advisory services to the agricultural sector, funded by the general budget. The unseen: the commercial and producer-organisation advisory market that already provides the same services elsewhere — and the taxpayer funding an institute that competes with that market at public expense.
Ellenvetés
"Background institutes provide continuity and institutional memory that commercial consultancies cannot replicate."
Válasz
Where the institute performs a genuinely delegated regulatory or supervisory function — the kind that belongs to a state body — that function can be identified, costed, and absorbed into NÉBIH or the ministry. Permanent staff are protected through the transition. What the phase-out ends is general-budget funding for advisory and coordination work that the agricultural sector can and does procure commercially. Institutional memory is a real asset; it does not require a separate state budget line to survive.
Share if you think agricultural advisory work should be funded by those who need the advice.

Indoklás
The Herman Ottó Intézet is a ministry-background institute carrying out agricultural, rural-development, and environmental knowledge, advisory, and programme-coordination work. Its functions are advisory and coordinating rather than rights-protecting; advisory and knowledge work for the agricultural sector is substantially captured by the producers who use it and is provided commercially elsewhere. Where the institute performs a genuine delegated regulatory or supervisory function, that function can be identified and returned to NÉBIH or the ministry. Phase out the institute's general-budget support over three years, protecting staff through the transition.
Átállási mechanizmus
Phase-out over 3 years, severance-with-overlap for permanent staff. The institute's operating line is 656.4 millió Ft; on the typical background-institute cost structure the personnel component is the larger share, but the chapter table does not break the line into personnel and non-personnel components — the payroll share should be confirmed from the institute's own accounts before the severance figure is fixed, and the schedule below is built on a conservative interim estimate. Genuine delegated functions return to NÉBIH or the ministry.
Érintett csoportok
Institute staff (transition protected by severance); the agricultural sector, which sources advisory services commercially or through producer organisations thereafter.
