Abstract: According to the three-sector theory by Fisher and C. Clark, the share of the agri-food sector in creating the GDP decreases along with the socio-economic development. There is a change in the proportions between the national economy and agribusiness and between its individual links. However, agriculture, food industry and services for the agribusiness sector remain an important segment of the national economy. The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of development of agribusiness and its importance for the national economy during Poland’s membership in the EU. To illustrate this, a set of five indicators representing its manufacturing potential has been used (employment, gross value of fixed assets, investment inputs), output results (global output) and income results (gross value added). Based on the investigation of input-output, the present and future trends of its development in Poland have been determined.
