A description of the economic situation in the Polish agriculture is started with the analysis of a money indicator, which has declined since the autumn 1996, as well as a farmers confidence indicator. The general business indicator, constructed on the basis of two former indicators, was the lowest (-47 p.) in January 1999. The country is divided into two parts first - nothem-western o with the better economic situation and second - Southern - eastern o with the worst situation. The greatest symptoms of the bad situation exist in the smallest farms as well as in the farms provided by old and less educated farmers.
