The former frontier between old Hungary and old Austria was no 
barrier against the farmers of one country producing beets for fac- 
tories located in the other. About 56,000 tons of beets were sent 
annually by Austrian farmers to Hungarian sugar factories near 
which they were located, while Hungarian farmers sent about 189,000 
tons to Austrian sugar factories because they were nearer to these 
than to factories on Hungarian territory. About 7,000 tons were 
shipped annually to Bosnia and 133,000 tons were used industrially 
for purposes other than sugar manufacture, and some beets were 
fed to livestock. 
When the present (1921) frontiers of Hungary were finally deter- 
mined these frontiers did not follow old state or county lines but cut 
across bordering counties and towns irregularly. In some cases a 
farmer found himself living in one country and his fields located in 
another. The railroads were also uneconomically cut up. It is 
probable that the beet-sugar industry has been injured. Factories 
are cut off from their former sources of supply and farmers find a 
customs barrier between themselves and their former market. 
It is too early to judge the extent of the effect that these changes 
of frontiers will have upon the beet-sugar industry. However, the 
post-war situation in Hungary is indicated in Table 29.
