Repercussions of Global Economic Crisis in Polish Agriculture

Summary/Abstract: In this elaboration there has been raised the problem of evaluation the economic situation in the Polish agriculture and the relation of costs of the agricultural products, regarding agricultural production. The economic situation in the Polish agriculture, assumed to be the consequence of changes of the economic situation in the EU agriculture and global economy (the repercussion of those changes), was assessed from the perspective of changes of a synthetic index of the economic situation. Since 2007 very strong adverse changes have been observed in that area. In 2008 the prices of agricultural raw materials dropped considerably, including the prices of plant and animal products. Also the index of the relations of prices of agricultural products to prices of production means (price scissors) declined rapidly. Since 2010 the level of agricultural prices has increased (measured in fixed prices), but also the prices of production means have gone up considerably. Hence, the indices of price relations have been fluctuating significantly over the next years.
