Since the beginning of the 21st century, the number of holdings specialising in fruit production in this area has been steadily increasing. With the increase in the number of holdings, significant changes are taking place also in terms of their functioning. These changes are caused by technological progress, as well as imposed European Union policy demanding adaptation of the holdings and their production systems to the norms and standards of the EU Member States. Since Poland has joined the European Union, the level of holdings development is steadily improving. The level of equipment of holding with durable means of production is improving and thanks to that holdings have the opportunity to archive better production results and higher income from production. The increase in holdings income contributes to the improvement of the economic situation of the villages. Technological development is accompanied by intellectual development \(an increase in the level of educational attainment\), which manifests as the increase in the quality of human capital in the villages. The functioning of the fruit farms entails the implementation of the number of investments in rural areas, which contributes to their development.
