Summary/Abstract: Transport is said to be an activity that supports and influence the economic development. Depending on the production sectors in the country, the transport volume varies between different products and raw materials. The main aim of the paper was to indicate correlation between the economic situation in Poland and the volume of transport of agribusiness sector products. Pearson’s linear correlation was used for this analysis. The research results indicated that since 2005 the demand for road transport of products from the agribusiness sector has grown faster than in other cargo groups. The share of this type of cargo in total transport is growing and is higher than the average for total products. At the same time, the relationship between the volume of transport and economic indicators is very strong.
