 The example has been chosen because historical trends (and Aglink-COSIMO projections) on the one hand and long run expectations differ markedly. This is not unusual because medium run forecasts often give a stronger weight to recent production trends, often indicating a stagnating or declining production in the EU, whereas the long run studies tend to focus on the global growth of food demand in the coming decades. The simple trends (filled triangles) would evidently give unreasonable, even negative forecasts after 2030. Already the imposition of constraints from relationships to other series would stabilise the projections and imply some recovery after 2030 (filled squares). The year 2020 supports from Aglink-COSIMO (not shown) produces some upward correction of the step 2 results for 2020, giving a final projection (filled circles) of about 375 ktons for pork production in Hungary. This is also the starting point for the specification of the long run support (empty circles) which is a weighted average of two components. The first is a linear interpolation to the external projection from FAO/IFPRI for 2050 (empty triangles).  The second is a nonlinear damped extrapolation of the medium run projection beyond 2020 (empty squares). Changing the weight for the first component (FAO/IFPRI support) with increasing projection horizon creates a long run target value (empty circles) that gives a smooth transition from the medium to the long run. As the final projections (filled circles) tend to follow these target values, they show a turning point in the future evolution of pork production in Hungary that ultimately reflects the consideration of increasing global demand underlying the FAO/IFPRI projections.
