ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to present agricultural market output as a criterion
for using agricultural potential in various regions of Poland.
The analysis was conducted taking into account selected indicators characterizing
the natural, agrotechnical, organizational, and economic conditions
of agriculture in individual voivodeships. The average for Poland was used as
the basis for comparisons. The basic sources of information were the statistical
data of Statistics Poland, the research results of the Institute of Soil Science and
Plant Cultivation – State Research Institute in Puławy, and the research results
presented in the literature.
According to our hypothesis, the environmental, agrotechnical, organizational,
and economic conditions determine the level and structure of agricultural
market output in Poland as a criterion for using the agricultural potential in
the regions. The research conducted so far shows that the impact of individual
groups of conditions is clearly differentiated and visible in the production specialization
and their share in agricultural market output in Poland. Regional
diversification of agricultural market output in Poland should be basis for directing
scientific research and advisory activities. It also reflects the regional
differentiation of the effects of the EU Common Agricultural Policy.
