Integrational links between agriculture and food industry in Podkarpacie

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents factors influencing the integration of agriculture and food industry in the Podkarpackie voivodship. The status analysis of these dependencies in 2005 and 2013 was prepared on the basis of data obtained from surveys among agricultural producers. For the purpose of the analysis powiat was adopted as a research unit for spatial comparisons. The impact of the analysed factors on the integration of the food economy in the region was assessed. In the computation of integrational links intensity the value of contract production in the total value of market output of agricultural farm was considered. The presented results show that the development of the examined relationships is determined by, i.a.: percentage of agricultural farms producing mainly for market, share of agricultural land in the total area, stocking density of pigs per 100 ha of arable land and density of hard surface roads. As a result, it can be stated that the development of agri-food integration depends mainly on the profitability of agricultural production.
