Rolnictwo jako stymulator rozwoju gospodarczego

In the first part or his article the author directs our attention to the divergences in the views and standards of appreciating the role of agriculture in the national economy. Three standards are analized in the paper, the share of agriculture in the national income, percentage of population employed in agriculture and share of food articles in the family budget. The author maintains that the most important standard from the market balance point of view is the share of food articles in the family budget. Then the author discusses the problems of production cost, real incomes and work efficiency of agricultural workers and he comes to the conclusion that the increase in production cost resulting from influx of industrial means of production to agriculture may be prevented by reflux of rural population to other professions which should be followed by the process of concentrating of the means of production in all sectors of agriculture.
