Agriculture
| The Polish farming sector accounted for 6% of the GDP in 1998. There were serious losses in the agricultural sector after the floods of 1997. Furthermore, an important stock of cattle was lost and the grain crop dropped by a 6% compared to the previous year. The agricultural productivity increases slowly because of the medium surfaces of the farms. Polish agriculture was always characterized by the abundance of small private farms. This trend is the dismantling of the agricultural cooperative societies. |
