Changes of labor productivity in the food chain in Poland

Summary/Abstract: This study attempts to assess changes in labor productivity in the food sector. Dynamics of labor productivity growth and its diversity in the main food chains were analyzed. Study results prove an impact of such factors as the Polish accession to the EU and the economic crisis at the end of the first decade of XXIst century on changes in the level of labor productivity in agriculture, food industry and food distribution sectors. The research results indicate that there was a significant increase in labor productivity in the food chain in Poland in the period of 2002-2012. Gross value added per one person employed in food sector doubled in nominal and increased by 50% in real terms. The growth rate of labor productivity in the food chain exceeded the pace of change in wages.
