ZMIANY PRODUKTYWNOŚCI CAŁKOWITEJ ROLNICTWA WOJEWÓDZTW POLSKI WSCHODNIEJ W LATACH 2007-2011

This paper identifies and examines the changes of total factor productivity in agriculture of Eastern Poland’s five provinces: Lubelskie, Podlaskie, Podkarpackie, Świętokrzyskie, Małopolskie, Warmińsko- Mazurskie within 2007-2011. Author used non-parametric method basing on Malmquist’s productivity index. Survey results show that in investigated provinces one noticed the growth of total factor productivity in agriculture. It should also be noted that above mentioned growth was considerably lower comparing to whole Poland level – 38%. In five regions of Eastern Poland, average value of Malmquist index was in surveyed period – 1,099 but productivity growth was caused by technological changes. Technical effectiveness showed small growth only in Lublin region
