Abstract

This article analyses the competitiveness of dairy farms in Poland in relation to selected EU countries. The competitive advantage of dairy farms was evaluated and compared based on remuneration for family labour. Two variants of the above indicator were calculated: (1) Remuneration for family labour (FL1) as the relationship between farm net income and the farmer’s unpaid labour input, and (2) Remuneration for family labour (FL2) as the relationship between farm net income minus the opportunity costs of own land and capital to the farmer’s unpaid labour input. The calculations were performed based on EU FADN (European Union Farm Accountancy Data Network) data for an average dairy farm in 2005, 2010 and 2016. The study revealed the highest average remuneration for family labour (FL1) in Irish and German dairy farms. The value of the second indicator (FL2) was also highest in Germany, followed by France. The analysis produced interesting results regarding dairy farms in Denmark and the Netherlands which were characterised by the highest scale of production in the evaluated period (high net value added), but very low farm incomes and remuneration for family labour. The study revealed that Polish dairy farms were characterised by average competitiveness relative.

波兰奶牛场在欧盟的竞争力

本文分析了波兰奶牛场的竞争力与选定的欧盟国家的关系。根据家庭劳动报酬对奶牛场的竞争优势进行了评价和比较。计算了上述指标的两种变体:(1)家庭劳动报酬(FL1)，即农场净收入与农民无偿劳动投入之间的关系;(2)家庭劳动报酬(FL2)，即农场净收入减去自有土地和资本对农民无偿劳动投入的机会成本之间的关系。这些计算是根据欧盟农场会计数据网络(FADN)在2005年、2010年和2016年对一个普通奶牛场的数据进行的。研究显示，爱尔兰和德国奶牛场的家庭劳动平均报酬(FL1)最高。第二项指标(FL2)的价值在德国也是最高的，其次是法国。分析得出了关于丹麦和荷兰奶牛场的有趣结果，这两个奶牛场的特点是在评估期间生产规模最大(高净增加值)，但农场收入和家庭劳动报酬非常低。研究表明，波兰奶牛场的特点是相对平均竞争力。
