Summary/Abstract: In the conditions of growing competition the production efficiency becomes an important criterion of performed operation. Dairy farms should seek a way to improve economic relations between production costs and revenues. Therefore, it is worth looking at the efficiency of milk production. The research in selected (according to agricultural regions) groups of farms specializing in milk production showed a significant variation of production and economic effects. The results of ratio analysis underline the advantage of efficiency of milk production in surveyed farms in Wielkopolska i Śląsk and Mazowsze i Podlasie, the regions with the intensive agricultural production, including the milk production. The weakest results of this production are indicated in the case of surveyed units of Małopolska i Pogórze regions, which are reflecting a more extensive way of milk production in the region.
