Investments and basic fixed assets in agriculture

Summary/Abstract: In Poland, investment activity in agriculture is visible especially after 2004, i.e. after accession to the European Union (EU). The incentive for farmers were invest funds directed to the common agricultural policy of the EU and an increase in demand for Polish agricultural products in the single European market. In the years 2000–2012 expenditures for all groups of investment in agriculture tend to rise. The largest increase was recorded in capital expenditures per 1 ha of farmland. This was due to financial support from the EU. Analysis showed a high diversity of farms in terms of equipment on tractors. Large farms had most tractors and they were best equipped in the high-power tractors. However, the biggest increase in tractors of 15 kW in the period from 2002 to 2012 was observed in farms with an area of 2–3 hectares (double) and 1–2 hectares (three times).
