Directions of Agriculture and Rural Areas Development after Polish Accession to the European Union
Abstract
The primary objective of the study was an analysis of Polish agriculture development after 4 years of joining the European Union. The changes were associated with the strategy of the Common Agricultural Policy, which led to a reorientation in the sphere of agriculture production and also to adopting high standards resulting from cross-compliance requirements. Adoption of the sugar policy has led to an increase of cereal crops and plants associated with biofuels. In turn, the introduced milk quota contributed to the concentration and specialization of animal production. There was a positive development in commercial agricultural production, consisting in improving the quality and food safety.
