Significance of Connections with the Environment of Agricultural Farms in Poland for their Production and Economic Situation

The economic goal of the activity of an agricultural farm is to achieve the greatest revenues. Agricultural farms in Poland are much diversified. Each of them is characterised by a different pace of development conditioned by many factors. In addition, the yield is diversified which results in the different revenues of farms. High revenues depend on the farmers' adjustment to the requirements of the market economy, on their entrepreneurship, and social and economic policy. Changes in the environment of farms require systematic research and deliberations on the economic situation of agricultural farms. The revenues of people employed in agriculture are the main goal of the agricultural policy. Therefore, this is an important and still valid issue. The aim of the study is to determine the level of production and revenues in the agricultural farms in Poland, which are characterised by different connections with their environments. The author has used the data from Eurostat, the Statistical Yearbook of the Republic of Poland, Institute of Agriculture and Food Economics - PIB, and author's own research conducted in 225 randomly selected farms for the purpose of the research.
