Regionalne zróżnicowanie polskiego rolnictwa a możliwości wdrażania polityk wspólnotowych

Agriculture and rular areas in Poland considerably differ between regions. This, in turn has an impact on both the level of agricultural potential use and possibilities for implementation of EU policy. The aim of the studies was to discuss the chances for the implementation of Community policies in various regions of Poland with regard to the existing natural, social and economicorganizational conditions. The evaluation was carried out on the example of crop production, a branch of agriculture that is most strongly linked with the use of agricultural production area. In cameral studies analyzing only some of the problems, the basic sources of information were statistical data as well as various expertises and reports. It was noted that Community policies affect many aspects of agricultural production. Multivariable analysis resulted in identifying the regions of different possibilities, from the point of view of achieving solutions related to the policies of the EU, such as, ecological production, integrated production, quality cereal production, and biomass production for energetic purposes. The studies assessed the chances of adjusting agricultural production in Poland to the principles of the EU Common Agricultural Policy, to the indexes indicating yield per ha and production effectiveness and to the quality standards, among other things, for food safety and quality of plant products. These were the level, structure, effectiveness and intensity of crop production that were found to differ between regions. Economic and organizational conditions lead to intensify regional differences and create various possibilities to adjust crop production to economic reality and EU policies. Due to the present regional differentiation, there is a need to diversify the supporting activities and advisory service methods. The present analysis of the changes in Community policies is necessary to take adaptation activities. The real assessment of the possibilities for adjusting crop production to the requirements and standards of the European Union may be made by analyzing the situation in administrative units smaller than voivodeships (sub-regions, districts, communes). It is advisable to carry out research that will support regionalization of policy for agriculture and rural areas. Based on multispectral analysis of the present state, the necessary tasks were identified to be undertaken to effectively adjust crop production to the EU requirements and to the growing competitiveness
