THE IMPORTANCE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR POLISH AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS UNDER COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY

Анотація

The  research  objective  was  to  determine  the  changes  within  financial
support  provided  for  the  Polish  agricultural  holdings  under  the  Common
Agricultural Policy (CAP) and to recognize  the impact of subsidies on the level
of incomes of agricultural producers. To meet this objective, the research was
based  on  information  on  the  instruments  of  financial  support  under  CAP
applied in years  2004-2013 and on figures from  more than  eleven  thousand
agricultural  holdings  included  in  the  accounting  system  under  Polish  FADN
from years 2004-2009. The analysis of results confirmed a significant influence
that CAP has on operational activities of Polish agricultural holdings.   All forms
and measures of  support are being applied, although to varying degrees and
in  different  fields.  To  ensure  effective  regulation  over  the  next  years  it  is
necessary  to  provide  for  further  improvement  of  community  support
frameworks and the instruments applied.
