The aim of the study is to assess the competitive performance of farms in Poland comparing to other European Union countries in 2009-2013. The study was conducted basising upon the accounting data from commercial farms participating in the FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) in European Union. The analysis was based on selected indicators of profitability and productivity of production factors. The results indicate a relatively low competitive performance of farms in Poland. The values of the majority of analyzed indicators are at the lower level than the average in the 27 EU countries. This applies especially to labour productivity, it reached in 2009-2013 only 27.2% of the average EU level. Only Polish farms covered by the rural accounting system reach an advantage in terms of the profitability index and production profitability ratio in relations to EU average.
