Wyniki ekonomiczne gospodarstw indywidualnych województwa białostockiego, prowadzących różne kierunki produkcji na glebach lekkich

Studies on farms on light soiIs of Białystok province have shown that these farms attain quite stable economic results. They have also indicated differentiated economic results in particular production directions. The highest gross agricultural income over the study period between 1989 and 1993 was achieved on pig farms. These farms also had the highest productivity and land profitableness as well as labour productivity and profitableness. Extremely disturbing was the relatively low agricultural farm income per fully employed labour force unit on a farm as compared to the salary of statistical worker employed in other branches of state economy. Thus agricultural income was generally smaller in all production directions as compared to a mean salary for work outside agriculture. This makes the future position of farms difficult, because agricultural income apart from consumption of an agricultural family at a decent level, should be a source of accumulation as a farm growth factor.
