EFFECTIVENESS AND COMPETITIVENESS OF FAMILY FARMS IN THE SUBREGION OF BYDGOSZCZ

Abstract

The paper aims to determining the farms’ capabilities to develop measured with their technical and financial effectiveness as well as the investments’ net volume. The research covers the farms from the Bydgoszcz’s sub-region (former province of Bydgoszcz) which prior to accession to the European Union took advantage of preferential loans. At the same time in the years 2004-2015 they uninterruptedly conducted accountancy in the Polish FADN system. The technical effectiveness of the farms has been determined with the use of the non-parametric DEA method – Data Envelopment Analysis, while for the purposes of the financial standing of farms’ analysts, there has been used the value creation index. In order to determine farms’ development capacity (competitive farms) the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) modified matrix has been applied. It results from the conducted studies, that in the best situation are the farms which have been rated among the group of leaders, as were characterised by the highest technical and financial effectiveness and also the highest level of net investments. The endangered farms are in the worst situation. In spite of the fact that these farms’ technical effectiveness was high, the developmental restrictions result from low scale of production. Competitiveness of farms is closely connected with their area.<br/><br/>
