Land and Labour Productivity in Polish Agriculture Against Highly-Developed Countries of the European Union
Journal Title: Acta Scientiarum Polonorum. Oeconomia - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper is a comparative analysis of land and labour productivity in Poland and those member states of the European Union (EU) most resembling Polish conditions in terms of agricultural production structure - Germany, France and Denmark. The diversity of productivity was presented in division into farm groups of various area of utilised agricultural area (UAA) and economic power. The research, carried out on the basis of data of 2013, enabled to identify the fact that small and medium agricultural holdings in Poland are more efficient than similar size farms in comparable member states of EU-15 which, however, does not influence a higher productivity of the whole sector since it depends on the results of the economically largest farms. Dividing farms into groups according to the UAA leads to conclusions that the labour factor is most efficiently used in small and big agricultural holdings, and the land factor - in medium farms.
