Crise de la politique agraire polonaise: comment sortir de l'impasse

Alain Pouliquen

Économie rurale, 1980, vol. 139

Abstract: In Poland, the food sector (and mainly agriculture) is now a heavy burden for national economy, as for investments and incomes of agricultural work (huge and increasing subsidies to the agricultural prices). The results of these expensive priorities are very disapointing since 1974, as for the production and the foreign trade. Why? - First reason : a steady and passive spread of the state farm sector ; this social model is necessarily expensive and especially in its Polish form, wasteful. - Second reason : in the private farm sector, still dominant, none of the basic first conditions of a bulky « second agricultural revolution » western type (specialization-concentration-mechanization) is met : - Sufficient and guaranteed supply of industrial inputs ; - Depressed general labour market : on the contrary, young farmers use more and more the open and relatively comfortable alternative of the etatic non agricultural employment, especially under the form of the family members multiactivity ; - Open and well regulated land market : this condition is only partly and locally met ; . Farmers reliance in the continuity of the farm policy of the state ; - Regulation, by syndicates and true cooperatives, of the set of relationships between farmers and the society as a whole. - Finally the agrarian crisis is aggravated by the general industrial crisis, but the first one greatly contributes also to the latter. Is there a « syndical » hope ?
