The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that for a given procurement price there is a certain equality accepting mutual benefits for both farm producers and agrifood processors. This allows transactions to be made at the procurement price level which is allowable and mutually acceptable due to...

The main objective of the research was to assess the production and economic results of winter wheat, rye, spring barley, grain maize, winter oilseed rape and sugar beets in 2018 depending on the scale of their cultivation. The research was conducted on commercial farms, which sell their...

The subsidies for legumes introduced in 2010 resulted in an increase in their cultivation area, including the area of sweet lupine and fodder pea. The cultivation of lupine is usually carried out on soils of the rye complex, similarly to winter rye, while the cultivation of peas – on soils of...

This publication is theoretical in nature. It attempts to determine a hypothetical relation between the supply of agricultural production determined by the given demand for it on the one hand and the demand for factors involved in the production on the other. It is included in one model of...

The issue of profitability of the agricultural production is often discussed within the framework of the problems of agricultural economics. The study showed a diversification in the profitability of the milk production depending on the cow herd’s size and identified the main determinants of...

Iron toxicity is one of the most important constraints limiting rice production in lowland sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To improve rice productivity in the affected areas in the context of climate change, new rice varieties with genetic resistance to iron toxicity were developed and released in...

The accuracy of technical efficiency measures is important given the interest in such measures in policy discussions. In recent years the use of stochastic frontiers has become popular for estimating technical inefficiency, but estimated inefficiencies are sensitive to specification errors. One...

This paper investigates whether there is any relationship between farm size, technical efficiency and the use of agrochemicals which are potentially environmentally contaminating. These questions are pertinent in the context of current EU policy decisions. Using two models of stochastic frontier...

Over the years, we can observe that farmers take up other gainful activities directly related to the agricultural holding (OGA), which affects their economic results. The aim of the study is to show the importance and specificity of OGA in the case of Polish farms. OGA are presented on the basis...

The main objective of the research was to assess the economic results of dairy cows, cattle for slaughter and porkers in 2019 depending on the scale of their production. The research was conducted on commercial farms, which sell their production. These farms were purposively selected from a...
