Factors Determining the Development of Small Farms in Central and Eastern Poland

Original language description

The agrarian structure in Poland is dominated by small farms: the large share of these is a result of historical consequences. The economy has pushed small farms toward economic efficiency, which in farming often translates into increasing the scale of production. The primary objective of this research was to present the directions of the changes in the number of small farms in Central and Eastern Poland and to indicate the factors determining their functioning and development. The research was based on a random sample selection from rural municipalities, villages and small farms. The researchers collected 19 completed surveys from municipal agricultural officers, 75 surveys from village mayors and 116 surveys from small and active farms. The data from the farm surveys was analysed using k mean cluster analyses and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to distinguish farms into homogenous groups.
