Competitiveness of Farms in Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship Depending on the Direction and Scale of Production

The Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship is characterised against others with a very high land price and intensity of use of resources from the Common Agricultural Policy programmes. To indicate the reasons for this situation, the assessment in this paper covered typical farms from the voivodeship which in 2010-2014 were covered by FADN monitoring. It was stated that the uniqueness of agriculture in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship consists in a relatively high share of perfectly functioning farms with medium- and large-scale production, whose owners took up cautious investment decisions. The share of such farms in the voivodeship was found to amount to 8.7% and the share of UAA owned by them – 55%, while similar ratios for the country were: 4.9% and 35.5%, respectively. Both these ratios had better values in Poland only in the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship
