Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to assess interdependence between the evolution of the price level, the volume and value of production and the amount of costs and revenues in the grain market in Poland. Changes in efficiency have been expressed by the coefficients cost-effectiveness, productivity, and efficiency of grain production in Poland. The range covered a long period of time, i.e. 18 years. The survey was conducted from the perspective of the two sub-periods. First, the pre-accession took over the years 1995–2003, the second concluded in the years 2004–2012. This made it possible to give comparative considerations. For the whole period, and separately for the two sub-periods was performed correlation analysis, which indicated the most important associations between the variables occurring in the grain market.
