Efektywność ekonomiczna gospodarstw z produkcją tytoniu

The paper aims to recognise the economical efficiency of tobacco producing farms. The research is based on data collected by FADN. Results of the research indicate that tobacco is being cultivated by small, specialized farms, for which such type of production constitutes the essential source of income. The paper argues that the state aid in the form of complementary national direct payments for tobacco farmers has an important effect on economical results of farms. This dependence could determine the significant difficulty in adaptation of tobacco farms to the new market situation, especially within the framework of the reformed CAP, especially with regard to the continuous trend in decoupling of direct payments.
