Agrárna komora Slovenska (AKS)

A bilingual (Slovak–Hungarian) organisation of farmers in southern Slovakia, most of them Hungarian speakers, founded in 2011 in Dunajská Streda (Dunaszerdahely). Despite “komora” (chamber) in its name, it is not a public-law chamber but a voluntary civic association; its regional chambers are in Dunajská Streda, Galanta and Rimavská Sobota, with 690 members. It gives bilingual advice on production and on applying for subsidies, runs training and represents members in law-making. It is a member of Hungary's National Chamber of Agriculture (NAK) and of the Slovak employers' union RÚZ.

Membership is voluntary. Any natural or legal person farming in Slovakia can join, including self-employed farmers (SHR) and applicants for area-based direct payments. You can join through a regional chamber (RAK) or directly with AKS; other businesses (e.g. food processors, service providers), schools and associate members can also join.
