Organizacja gospodarstw położonych w rejonach ekstensywnego rolnictwa w świetle wymogów europejskiej standaryzacji produkcji rolniczej

The aim of the study was to present the organisation of production in selected private farms placed in less favoured areas of eastern Poland (:Eastern Wall"). The author tried to answer the question if farm products originated from this region fulfil the quality norms that are obligatory in the states of the European Union. The survey covers all private holdings in two villages laying on the Bug bank, and additionally two types of specialised holdings (dairy, hogs) as well as one mixed (with cereals) located in other villages. On the sample of dairy holdings, author exposes measures undertaken by farmers to improve production quality. The results provide evidence that farm producers in Poland more often place emphasis on products quality improvement, simultaneously abandoning quantitative extension of production.
