Efektywność ekologicznych gospodarstw sadowniczych w porównaniu do konwencjonalnych

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficiency of production factors in organic and conventional fruit farms. The results suggest lower level of productivity of land resources on organic farms, which resulted from lower productivity of organic production. The productivity of capital presented similar levels in both groups of households, while the productivity of the labor force was greater in organic farms, because they were bigger than conventional ones. Organic farms were characterised by better economic results than conventional ones, as a result of better production results accompanied by lower production costs of organic farms. Therefore, in the surveyed households, the profitability of land, labor and capital used in the production processes was higher in organic farms.
