Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the changes in total productivity of agriculture in 16 regions of Poland after its accession to the European Union, i.e. in the years 2005-2014. The changes were studied using a non-parametric method based on the Malmquist index of productivity supplemented with decomposition into technological changes and changes in technical efficiency. The results showed that in the studied period the average total productivity of agriculture increased by 5%. In particular regions also an increase in the total productivity of this sector was observed. It ranged from 1.8% in Podkarpackie province to 8% in Pomorskie province. The source of improved productivity in all regions was positive technological changes, whereas an increase in technical efficiency contributed to improvement in productivity in 11 regions. In two of the regions technical efficiency did not show any changes (Wielkopolskie, Zachodniopomorskie), and in three of them (Dolny Śląsk, Lubuskie, Podkarpackie) the changes had a destimulating effect on the improvement in total productivity.<br/><br/>
