The main objective of the article was to present changes in productivity and profitability of work in dairy farms from selected EU countries diversified by economic size in 2005-2015. The subject of research is milk farms from seven EU countries with the largest increase in milk commodity production in 2005-2015. The analysis shows that: 1) Work productivity in EU dairy farms in 2015 was highly diversified and Polish farms were characterized by the lowest work productivity; 2) The level of work efficiency was not directly correlated with the profitability of the farmer’s own work. Polish dairy farms, especially from the group with an economic size of PLN 100,000 - 500,000 euro, were characterized by average similar profitability of their own work as farms from Germany, the Netherlands and France. An interesting example is dairy farms from Denmark, which were characterized by the highest work productivity and farm income per hour of own work was the smallest.

The wine sector is of great importance for many national economies of EU countries. The European Union is a world leader in area under grape cultivation and wine production. The goal of the paper was to determine the profitability of farms specializing in winegrape production depending on economic size in selected EU countries in the years 2004-2016. In addition, the level of farm income per 1 ha of viticulture was determined, as well as the level of family income and the share of total subsidies in total income. Overall, it was found that there was an increase in income, however income increased along with economic size. In the examined period, growth was only observed from the fourth economic class (EUR 50-100 thousand). Additionally, the share of income subsidies under CAP decreased along with economic size. The conducted research gave light to information that could prove vital to adapt the European vineyard and wine sector to the opportunities and needs of the market, namely by taking into account the links between economies of scale and economies of scope.

The article presents the competitiveness and efficiency of Polish vegetable farms against the similar farms from selected European Union countries. The analysis covered farms specializing in growing vegetables, straw­berries, flowers and ornamental plants, mushrooms and nurseries covered by the FADN monitoring system in the years 2007-2009 and 2011-2013. The competitiveness of the researched vegetable farms was determined by the competitiveness index calculated as the ratio of farm income to the cost of using own factors of production: land, labor and capital (according to W. Kleinhanss). Competitive abilities were demonstrated by Polish vegetable farms with economic size of EUR 50-100 and 100-500 thousand of SO and area, respectively of 8.6 and 10.2 ha of UAA. These abilities were also demonstrated by Hungarian and Romanian farms of EUR 25-50 thousand of SO, French and German farms of EUR 100-500 thousand of SO as well as Italian and Spanish farms of EUR > 500 thousand of SO. Fully competitive were German farms of EUR > 500 thousand of SO and the Hungarian farms of EUR: 25-50, 50-100 and 100-500 thousand SO.

The aim of the study presented in the paper was to assess the level of investment in farms in European Union countries. The assessment applied the reproduction rate, fixed-asset reproduction rate and the investment rate. Studies were performed for all farms and farms divided into classes according to economic size (KS6 classification). The study covered years 2007–2016. As significant changes were observed in individual years, the study period was divided into two equal sub-periods, for which average values of the ratios were determined. The studies showed that the level of investment in farms as taken jointly for all EU countries is not enough to reproduce their assets in both sub-periods. What needs to be positively assessed is the fact that the values of all indicators grow as the economic size of farms grows. The level of reproduction and multiplication of property in Polish farms is lower than the EU average for economically weaker farms, but it is usually higher for the stronger ones.

The aim of this study is to determine changes in the structure of horticultural farms in EU countries in the years 2007-2017 and their incomes and determine the share of subsidies of the Common Agricultural Policy in the income of horticultural farms in studied groups. Horticultural farms from the European Union Farm Accountancy Data Network (EUFADN) of all EU countries were surveyed. A dynamic analysis of the structure of farm numbers in particular groups of economic size (ES6) was carried out, and then the average change in income and the share of subsidies in income within these groups in 2007 and 2017 were presented. As a result of the conducted research, changes in the number of horticultural farms in various groups of economic size were taken into account and the assumptions concerning the decreasing scale of fragmentation of horticultural farms were confirmed by a decrease in the number of the economically weakest groups and an increase in the number of medium and large farms. It was noted that, in the studied groups, the strongest income growths concerned farms with medium or high economic strength, which may mean that income had a significant impact on the process. Moreover, it results from the conducted research that existing institutional solutions additionally supported the tendency to reduce the scale of fragmentation of horticultural farms in the EU-12 due to the fact that the shares of subsidies were higher in groups with higher economic strength.

This paper studies club convergence in relation to labour productivity in the agriculture industry of 28 European Union countries for the period 2005 to 2018. The countries were divided into three groups which were homogeneous in terms of level of development in the agricultural sector. The presence of convergence in the groups of countries was verified by using a panel-data model of conditional β-convergence. Then, convergence processes were investigated within clubs of countries. Convergence processes took place in the groups of countries with low and medium levels of labour productivity. In the club of countries where labour productivity was high, opposite processes (i.e. divergence) were observed.

The Relationship

Models and methods of spatial econometrics are gaining more and more popularity. Their advantage is the opportunity to examine the interrelationships between individual territorial units. These methods, apart from the own potential of the region, take into account the impact of neighbouring objects and location in space. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between the potential and the level of competitiveness of individual European Union countries in the field of slaughter cattle production. In addition, the paper attempts to determine the specialisation of individual EU countries in the production of slaughter animals by sector. The analysis covered the years 2010–2016, using Eurostat data. The obtained results allow indicating countries in which there is a strong concentration of income potential (Sweden, Spain, Great Britain, France and Belgium). Countries in which the highest values of the potential quotients in the entire European Union are distinguished (Poland, Finland and Belgium).<br />

Access To Food

The aim of the study was to show the state of food security in European Union countries and defines the basic factors determining the level of this security. There is a large disproportion in the state of food security between individual European Union countries, especially between old and new EU countries. It was determined that in the analyzed years average prices of products and their quality deteriorated in the countries of the European Union. The unfavorable changes that have taken place were not too great. On the other hand, the average indicator for the analyzed countries regarding access to food has clearly improved.
