Uwarunkowania rozwoju sektora owoców i warzyw w Polsce w latach 2004-2007

The paper aims to analyze the internal conditions of development of Polish fruit and vegetable sector in the period 2004-2007. It argues that in the first years of Polish membership in the EU the fruit and vegetable sector was developing significantly. That was due to the factors resulting from market cyclical factors and strong competitive advantages as well as the EU founds available for sector development. The further development of the sector will depend on the dynamics of increasing competitive positions on the Single Market as well as taking advantages of EU founds and the level of cooperation between sectors stakeholders.
