Abstract: The purpose of the research was to assess the efficiency of production factors in horticultural holdings in Poland versus other agricultural types in years 2004-2017. General characteristics of holdings of other agricultural types in Poland were presented, the productivity of labour, soil, and capital was determined. In the years 2004-2017, a nominal increase in soil productivity was recorded in holdings of all agricultural types, except for horticultural holdings and those specialising in granivores. In the studied period, horticultural holdings still had the highest land productivity, followed by holdings with permanent crops and specialising in granivores. In the years analysed, an increase in labour productivity was noted in almost all types of holdings, except for herbivorous holdings. Holdings specialising in granivores had the highest labour productivity, followed by field cultivation, horticultural and dairy holdings. On the other hand, capital productivity in the analysed period decreased in almost all types of holdings, except for horticultural holdings (nominally, while in real terms it decreased in all types). Horticultural holdings had the highest labour productivity, followed by field cultivation, and holdings specialised in granivores.
