Theoretical and Practical Conditions of Development of Production Specialization in Agriculture

Conditions of productions specialization and rationalization in individual agriculture are analyzed in the article. The author analyzes motives and conditions of produotion and points out that only undertakings issuing from rational activity based on calculations can be recognized as rational ones. We can consider rational only such economic activity that is sub-ordinated to realization of one aim, i.e to improvement in input-output relationi. Specialization dis one of ways leading to realization of that goal in agriculture. Specialization is understood by the author as increase in means and measures concentration in one (or unlarge) production direction with the purpose of the most efficient utilization of physical, chemical, biological and economic rights. A condition of compliance of those requirements, especially in individual farms, consists in extension of unconstrained choice of specialization direction and its organization. To that purpose the yield of marketable agricultural produce must be extended not only in a production farm but also in a house-hold. It is hinderred, however, by a high natural consumption that issues — according to the author — from inappropriate functioning of the country's market of foodstuffs. As long as the market of these products does not function properly, conditions for specialization and rationalization of production in an individual farm will not exist.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
