The issue concerning decline of area planted with sugar beet in Poland in the years 2002–2010 has been analyzed. In the examined years a positive effect of growth yields of sugar beet can be observed. The reform of the sugar market apart from restricting sugar production limits, assumed introduction of sugar payment, which had the effect of limiting the production of raw material. The consequence of this phenomenon was the liquidation of sugar factories, which in many areas acted as a significant employer. As a result of the reform farmers’ production profile was forced to change but also population in the labour market had to be re-trained. The existing sugar factories managed by both Polish and German companies have a tendency of accumulating capital. Poland belongs to the so called “Beet-belt” of the EU, namely a group of countries with the greatest potential for sugar production. However, it is not clear how the common market as well as the effects of the subsequent reform to be conducted in 2017 will affect the level of competitiveness of the Polish sugar industry.}, type={Text}, title={Reforma rynku cukru Unii Europejskiej i jej wpływ na uprawę buraków cukrowych i produkcję cukru w Polsce = The European Union sugar market reform and the impact on the production of sugar beet and sugar in Poland}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/61625/PDF/WA51_80947_r2016-t42_SOW-Dubownik.pdf}, keywords={EU sugar market reform, sugar beet, sugar factories, "beet belt" o the EU, Poland}, }
