SINGLE AREA PAYMENTS AS AN INSTRUMENT TO MONITOR AGRARIAN CHANGES IN POLAND (IN 2004–2013)
Journal Title: INTERCATHEDRA - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 34
Abstract
This paper discusses the results of a spatial analysis of single area payments (SAP) in Poland. Using the changing payment rates per hectare of agricultural land (ranging from PLN 210.53 in 2004 to PLN 830.30 in 2013) as a basis, the research focused on assessing the changes in the number and area of agricultural holdings in 2004–2013, including the impact of natural, urban and historical conditions. It was concluded that the ongoing agrarian changes are characterized by the fact that the number of agricultural holdings decreases faster (at a rate of 8%) than their area (at a rate of 2%). Also, the average size of farms started to follow an upward trend, growing from 9.8 ha in 2004 to 10.2 ha in 2013. The elements of the agrarian structure covered by this study were found to differ strongly across regions, mostly due to identified historical factors. The SAP was confirmed to be a valuable instrument to monitor the agrarian changes.
