Marketability of non farming agricultural holdings

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a critical analysis of the farmer-entrepreneurs’s activities on the Polish farm market and the degree of farm-market jointness of their holdings in the years 2004-2009 with regard to the economic size, size of arable land and type of agricultural holding. The paper relies on the data concerning all non-farming agricultural holdings which participated in the Polish FADN. The analysis reveals that farmers-entrepreneurs have shown a high level of business activity on the farm market as evidenced by relatively high income from the sale of the agricultural produce per holding and the sale of an overwhelming majority of their produce. In the 2004-2009 period, i.e. after the Polish accession to the European Union, there have been little changes which affected the marketability of the nonfarming agricultural holdings.
