Es wird ein Vergleich von Wert der Bruttowertschöpfung und Produktivität in der Landwirtschaft, zwischen den Ländern, die zu EU gehören, gemacht. Es wird bestätigt, dass Produktivitätsanalyse der Produktionsfaktorennutzung und ihren Aufwände zum Nachteil der polnischen Landwirtschaft fällt.
The engine of the economical growth is the continuous technical-economical progress. Regarding the future, the principle of effectiveness and tenability must be exercised. We have to be thinking about very effective developments.
The paper reviews the concept of sustainable agriculture, indicating its various dimensions. The similarities between sustainable development and sustainable agriculture are demonstrated. The fundamental objective of the paper is to conceptualize sustainable agriculture in Poland. The paper raises several essential issues concerning the lack of such studies in the past and proposes research objectives. Firstly, to present the main issues of sustainable agriculture and to show the possibilities of implementing the idea of sustain� able development, an evaluation through the prism of change directions and dynamics, as well as regional differentiation of Polish agriculture, was necessary. Secondly, to present the situation in the economic sus� tainability of Polish agriculture in the period 2000-2010, the following research methods were employed: monographic and descriptive methods, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. Findings of foreign scientists were also used in the research. The analysis of the condition of agriculture considers the main changes that occurred between the years 2000-2010. These were presented on the basis of Main Statistical Office data from statistical yearbooks and reports of agricultural censuses results.
The importance of agriculture in the Russian economy is relatively small, which is a characteristic feature of developed economies (about 4% of GDP). However, agriculture represents a significant share in the structure of the employed – 9.2%. The use of agriculture as self-sufficiency food has become essential after the embargo imposed on imported products. Russia as a country has a large area of land. The surface of used agricultural land after a fall in the nineties has stabilised at a level of 800 thous. km2. At the same time intensified agricultural production has resulted in increased performance and larger crops. Due to the progression of technology there is an opportunity for the development of agriculture in Russia.
The primary goal of the paper is to state the financial benchmark values for liquidity ratios in Slovak agriculture. Authors measured liquidity with current ratio, quick ratio and cash ratio which are the traditional way of liquidity measurement. Using descriptive statistics authors describe the liquidity performance of more than 1,100 enterprises in each period in 2004–2011. Based on the results authors can conclude that the common recommended values for liquidity ratios cannot be used for agriculture. The overall liquidity in agriculture is much lower and therefore the results presented in this article can be used as a benchmark for individual enterprises comparison.
The publication addresses the issue and the mechanism of remuneration of the labour factor in agriculture. An analytical approach with empirical examples was used, the reasoning is carried out in the microeconomic convention. Basing on analytical formulas the relationships between (a) proportion of food in consumer’s expenditure, (b) supply and demand for factors of production and the prices thereof, (c) prices of agri-food goods and remuneration of factors of production, in particular labour factor, were examined in the paper. That constitutes the mechanism of remuneration of labour factor and its level (level of farm incomes).
