Wewnętrzne uwarunkowania rozwoju polskiego rolnictwa

In the paper endogenous conditions for the development of agricultural sector in Poland in comparison with selected EU countries are discussed. It is indicated, that comparing to other countries area of agricultural land per capita is one of the highest in Europe. Large labor resources exceed the needs. Agriculture is well equipped with tractors. The present level of production factors can be considered as a strength of the sector. The weak point is a low, on average, farm size, several times lower than in the countries compared in the analysis. Increasing share of larger farms (above 20 ha) in the land use is a positive feature. Regional specialization and concentration in livestock production (over 50% of the total heard of cows and pigs is concentrated in five and three regions respectively) is stated.
