Abstract
In a research author has performed an analysis of the productivity of Polish agriculture in the years 1998-2006, using the Malmquist index of productivity. The results of the calculations have shown in which period productivity has increased or decreased, and what was a general trend in the considered period. The usage of decomposition of calculated indices led to the decision, what factors have an impact on changes of productivity. The presented results of the research included the synthetic results covering the whole period analyzed.
