BIAŁYSTOK’S INDUSTRY IN THE SECOND POLISH REPUBLIC
Languages of publication
Abstracts
The First World War brought a serious deterioration to Podlasie’s industry. During the Second Polish Republic, the region had several periods of economic prosperity, interrupted only by brief downturns of 1924 and 1928. As the capacity of internal market was limited, while Łódź and Bielsk posed strong competition, foreign markets, sometimes as exotic as Japan, China or South Africa, had to be sought. Attempts to find new markets were only partly successful, and the interwar industry of Podlaskie never regained its position from before 1914. Among the consequences of weakened competitive power was an acceleration of the processes of monopolisation and concentration of production. Among the characteristics of Białystok industrial district in the 19th century were: great geographical dispersion of production among minor towns and small manufacturing plants and focus mainly on the Russian market. Both of the above started to change before WWI. Production gradually moved to Białystok, while the Russian market closed, and other markets had to be explored.
