There is a wide range of research publications presenting the structure of Common Agricultural Policy support for the Polish agriculture and rural areas. Yet, most of them cover only one programming period or concentrate on structural changes in agriculture and rural areas informing about the level of support only as a starting point for further analyses.\nThe aim of the paper is to assess the actual objectives of the CAP implementation in Poland. These objectives are reconstructed by analysing the level of support allocated to different types of farms and farming regions and the types of instruments applied to transfer these funds.\nThe analysis is conducted based on the national statistical data concerning agriculture including the last two censuses – in 2002 and 2010 as well as the data on the CAP transfers made by the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture during the period 2004-2013. Some comparisons use also Polish FADN database.\nThe results show that generally the key beneficiaries are the smallest and the largest farms. However, there are significant differences in the division between winners and losers when specific policy instruments are analysed."}},{"node":{"title":"The potential of Moldovan agri-food products on EU markets","slug":"the-potential-of-moldovan-agri-food-products-on-eu-markets","author":[{"name":"Liliana Cimpoies"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 12","year":2015,"no":12,"title":"Rural development in Central-Eastern Europe and neighbourhood countries","editor":[{"name":"Ion Certan"},{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"},{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"}],"slug":"volume-12"},"pageFrom":21,"pageTo":33,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483511-2015-rad-12-02-cimpoies.pdf","title":"2015-RAD-12-02-CIMPOIES"},"abstract":"Competitiveness has become a key issue on international markets since it can be considered as the major source of export development. A country that utilizes the best its resources within its agricultural sector may benefit from comparative advantage on international agricultural markets.\nDue to the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement signed recently between Moldova and European Union, it is of vital importance for local agri-food products to be competitive on the EU market and to assess the potential gains of the increased demand.\nMoldova’s share on agri-food exports is still large, but various changes occurred in the total value and the geographical structure of trade flows during the analyzed period.\nThe aim of this research is to analyze the changes that happened in the pattern trade flows and to evaluate the consequences and potential benefits of DCFTA on agri-food exports of Moldova.\nIn the given research data from the National Bureau of Statistics for the period 2001-2012 will be used. The analysis of competitiveness will be carried out by assessing trade indices of intra and inter industrial trade (RTA, GL)."}},{"node":{"title":"Differentiation of Czech countryside in light of the OECD typology","slug":"differentiation-of-czech-countryside-in-light-of-the-oecd-typology","author":[{"name":"Jiří Hrabák"},{"name":"Andrea Čapkovičová"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 12","year":2015,"no":12,"title":"Rural development in Central-Eastern Europe and neighbourhood countries","editor":[{"name":"Ion Certan"},{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"},{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"}],"slug":"volume-12"},"pageFrom":35,"pageTo":50,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483511-2015-rad-12-03-hrabak.pdf","title":"2015-RAD-12-03-HRABAK"},"abstract":"This study deals with the differentiation of Czech countryside in its relation to the delineation of countryside itself. Ongoing changes in the countryside bring about its increased differentiation. This trend also applies to Czech countryside, which can be characterized as highly differentiated. This implies a need to delineate countryside itself, as well as its individual types. The delineation of countryside is a long term focus of the OECD, whose methodology is employed in this study. Its scale, however, has been adjusted to the level of districts (LAU 1). This study attempts to shed some light on the existing differentiation and diversity of the Czech countryside. For the individual categories of the OECD typology, we observed selected socio-economic indicators (net migration, primary sector employment, educational structure and unemployment rate) and analysed the differentiation of these characteristics across the sets of municipalities. The observation clearly indicates that small municipalities in rural regions display worse socio-economic characteristics. In terms of the selected indicators, the analysis also reveals a significant differentiation caused by the regions’ geographic position."}},{"node":{"title":"Are the collective actions in the Romanian fruits and vegetable sector a mean to access the retail chains?","slug":"are-the-collective-actions-in-the-romanian-fruits-and-vegetable-sector-a-mean-to","author":[{"name":"Cornelia Alboiu"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 12","year":2015,"no":12,"title":"Rural development in Central-Eastern Europe and neighbourhood countries","editor":[{"name":"Ion Certan"},{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"},{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"}],"slug":"volume-12"},"pageFrom":51,"pageTo":63,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483512-2015-rad-12-04-alboiu.pdf","title":"2015-RAD-12-04-ALBOIU"},"abstract":"The agricultural sector – in particular, the fruits and vegetable sector\n– finds itself in a relatively weak negotiation position due to the low level of concentration from which farmers approach the market. This is a weakness that can only be overcome by resorting to collective actions, i.e. the creation of producer organizations (POs) and producers groups (PGs). The concentration of supply of POs is quite different in the member countries, Romania having about 1% of production concentrated by producers groups and producers organizations. In this paper it is analysed the production (area, yield, number and size of fruits and vegetable farms) and the supply chain of fruit and vegetable sector in Romania. In addition the paper concentrates on the historical development of the POs and the role of the POs of the fruit and vegetable sector. It is important to clarify the impact of changes of the regulatory framework and the impact of the minimum requirements of the POs (minimum number of members, minimum value of marketed production) and the performance of producers and organizations groups."}},{"node":{"title":"Structural changes in Polish horticulture after the accession to The European Union","slug":"structural-changes-in-polish-horticulture-after-the-accession-to-the-european-uni","author":[{"name":"Łukasz Zaremba"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 12","year":2015,"no":12,"title":"Rural development in Central-Eastern Europe and neighbourhood countries","editor":[{"name":"Ion Certan"},{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"},{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"}],"slug":"volume-12"},"pageFrom":65,"pageTo":76,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483513-2015-rad-12-05-zaremba.pdf","title":"2015-RAD-12-05-ZAREMBA"},"abstract":"Polish accession to the European Union has resulted in the dynamic changes in wide scope of our economy. Significant expansion of EU in 2004 has influenced on present members of European Community and has caused the adjustment process in all countries. What has resulted from this expansion, is an opening the European market and growth of competitiveness, also on the horticulture market. Financial resources from Common Agricultural Policy have become one of the important cause of structural changes in Polish agricultural and horticulture market. Efficient use of financial resources from the EU helped Poland to improve market organization. The number of farms, conducting agricultural activities in Poland, is significant against an UE background. However, this amount, since our joining to the Community, is diminishing. This process is profitable for Polish competitiveness. The economic strength of agriculture and horticulture sector is strongly limited with size and conditions of farms. There  is still considerable share of small farms in Poland, which hinder this sector from development. Thanks to transformations Polish farmers are able to offer their products according to the international market demands. The advantage of the Polish countryside is relatively young age of citizens. During our attendance among European Community, Polish vegetable production most of varieties have diminished, however the efficiency has significantly increased. Polish fruit production is gaining, mostly thanks to the apples and raspberries production. There is still a long way ahead polish horticulture to conduct needed transformations."}},{"node":{"title":"Impact of EU-Moldova Association Agreement on rural development","slug":"impact-of-eu-moldova-association-agreement-on-rural-development","author":[{"name":"Simion Certan"},{"name":"Ion Certan"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 12","year":2015,"no":12,"title":"Rural development in Central-Eastern Europe and neighbourhood countries","editor":[{"name":"Ion Certan"},{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"},{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"}],"slug":"volume-12"},"pageFrom":77,"pageTo":95,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483514-2015-rad-12-06-certan.pdf","title":"2015-RAD-12-06-CERTAN"},"abstract":"The EU-Moldova Association Agreement will strengthen our country’s joint efforts with the international community and will produce; undoubtedly, significant changes not only as a form, but also substantively in the rural area.

Transformations taking place in agriculture are significant not only in economic but also in social terms, especially in the context of ensuring food safety as well as performing functions of a non-market nature by the segment of the economy. The premise for substantiating the need to analyze changes in agriculture is also large support for this sector from public funds. For this reason, the possibilities to make development processes in agriculture more dynamic are of particular significance. In the paper results of a statistical-descriptive analysis of the process of structural transformations in agriculture in the first decade of the 21st century as well as factors determining the pace and directions of changes taking place are presented. The reasoning was based on selected indicators describing changes in basic agricultural structures which determine the economic potential and competitive capacities of agricultural farms to the main extent. Due to the significant regional diversity of the Polish agriculture, changes in the structures of the agricultural sector were also analyzed from this perspective.\nThe paper refers to individual agriculture, constituting the dominant segment of the agricultural sector in Poland. It was based on data from common statistics as well as results of representative field studies conducted periodically by the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics - National Research Institute (IERiGŻ-PIB) on a sample of approx. 0.2% of the actual number of individual farms."}},{"node":{"title":"The changing demographic profile of Romanian rural areas","slug":"the-changing-demographic-profile-of-romanian-rural-areas","author":[{"name":"Liliana Guran-Nica"},{"name":"Marioara Rusu"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 12","year":2015,"no":12,"title":"Rural development in Central-Eastern Europe and neighbourhood countries","editor":[{"name":"Ion Certan"},{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"},{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"}],"slug":"volume-12"},"pageFrom":123,"pageTo":132,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483515-2015-rad-12-08-guran-nica.pdf","title":"2015-RAD-12-08-GURAN-NICA"},"abstract":"In recent decades, most European countries were faced with concerning demographic phenomena, having as main characteristic the falling birth rate and an aging population.

The main objective of this paper is  to highlight the key features of rural demographic structures and their evolution. Based on the proposed objective, analysis was conducted on three levels with related questions: i) rural demographic structures and dynamics – is possible   a sustainable rural development in the context of a continuing deterioration of human capital?; ii) spatial disparities – which are the specific demographic characteristics at the different territorial levels?; iii) proposals - which are the ways for improving the condition of rural population?. Analysis of the statistical data revealed the following characteristics: i) rural population is constantly decreasing, a process that started with the Revolution of 1989; ii) the rural population growth rate has negative values increasingly larger since 1992 - a process with a strong territorial footprint; iii) rural population shows a pronounced aging process; iv) main drivers of population decline are negative natural increase and migration. iv) at the local level there is a process of population concentration in highly and newly urbanized areas; in parallel, there is a depopulation of the rural areas, particularly of the peripheral ones."}},{"node":{"title":"Changes in Austria’s agricultural structures since the accession to the EU in 1995","slug":"changes-in-austria-s-agricultural-structures-since-the-accession-to-the-eu-in-199","author":[{"name":"Klaus Wagner"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 12","year":2015,"no":12,"title":"Rural development in Central-Eastern Europe and neighbourhood countries","editor":[{"name":"Ion Certan"},{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"},{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"}],"slug":"volume-12"},"pageFrom":133,"pageTo":147,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483516-2015-rad-12-09-wagner.pdf","title":"2015-RAD-12-09-WAGNER"},"abstract":"Since joining the EU in 1995, Austria has been subject to EU regulations including the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The opening of the markets to consumers and producers and the reduction of producer prices to EU level represented big challenges in the early years. Vast adaptation measures were adopted in Austria’s agricultural sector and compensatory measures were financed by both Austria and the EU. The CAP, however, has continued to develop and the periodic new objectives, programs and measures also had to be implemented, thereby affecting the economy, agricultural and regional structures as well as landscapes. This article analyses the regional development of agrarian structures in the context of the historical CAP stages. Detailed regional statistical analyses of the Austrian situation have been carried out based on data from IACS and statistical censuses for the eight Austrian agricultural production zones, for specific years with sound and comparable data on development. Absolute numbers, rates of change and indices for specialisation and concentration for numbers of businesses, livestock and areas are presented to illustrate changes in Austria’s agricultural structures."}},{"node":{"title":"Roma and rural poverty: regional benchmarking of selected rural regions of Slovakia","slug":"roma-and-rural-poverty-regional-benchmarking-of-selected-rural-regions-of-slovaki","author":[{"name":"Vladimír Székely"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 12","year":2015,"no":12,"title":"Rural development in Central-Eastern Europe and neighbourhood countries","editor":[{"name":"Ion Certan"},{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"},{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"}],"slug":"volume-12"},"pageFrom":149,"pageTo":164,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483517-2015-rad-12-10-szekely.pdf","title":"2015-RAD-12-10-SZEKELY"},"abstract":"Poverty as a complex and multidimensional problem has not only a socio-structural dimension but also a socio-spatial one.

We analyse factors of rural development and employ a questionnaire survey.\nOne part concentrates on quantitative analysis and assesses available data on factors of development on the level of municipality (village), categorised by individual measures of the Rural Development Programme 2007 – 2013 in Axes 3 and 4 (from 2007 through June 2013). The other part considers selected municipalities and their successful applicants.\nResults of the analysis of available data showed that the statistical methods did not produce sufficient explanation of factors that affect the utilization of grant funds for measures of Axis 3 and 4. Quantitative approach is suitable for a general categorization of territorial monitor progress. For an explanation of the factors that influence the utilization of grant funds is necessary qualitative investigation, such as questionnaires. The questionnaire showed that the initial information about the project is being received almost exclusively randomly. Therefore, it is recommended to increase promotion of public awareness of rural development measures in next period (2014-2020)."}},{"node":{"title":"Rural space as a social representation.

The case study illustrates selected social consequences of spatial policy regarding housing in rural communes in the suburban area of a big city (case of Metropolitan Area of Łódź). Unlike macro-scale studies, both Polish and foreign, micro-scale studies have shown that differences are even greater and concern neighbouring areas. The different ways of life are manifested in different behaviour patterns and levels of territorial identity. New residents of a village perceive space primarily in terms of functional utility (convenience of residence), while long-time residents attach sentimental value to it, due to historical continuity. In such a case, special attention is paid to social and spatial behaviour patterns stemming from the historical continuity of certain individual characteristics of functioning within a local structure."}}]}},"pageContext":{"slug":"volume-12"}},"staticQueryHashes":["2036182386","3000541721"]}
