In 1976 the hothouse horticultural production in the food zone belonging to Łódź urban administrative province was concentrated mainly in provinces of Łódź, Kalisz, and Piotrków. The glasshouse production was strongly developed glasshouse area per one inhabitant of towns was 70 per cent higher than the national average. On the other hand, production under foil was insufficiently developed. Distribution of glasshouses, hotbeds, and foil tunnels was characterized with a big spatial differentiation. The hothouse area was mainly used for cultivation of vegetables, first of all tomatoes and cucumbers. Production of vegetables per one inhabitant of towns exceeded by over 40 per cent the national level. Forecast of the horticultural production development till 1990 envisages that the hothouse area will reach 700 ha, with the biggest exparasion to be noted in the case of foil tunnels and the smallest in hotbeds. The highest increment rate will be observed in provinces of Konin and Włocławek, and the smallest in those of Łódź and Kalisz. Production of vegetables will grow two-and-a half fold, and will reach the level of 36,000 ton. It will be mainly coming from provinces of Łódź, Piotrków, Kalisz, and Konin. In the long run disproportions in spatial distribution of the hothouse horticultural production will be reduced.

Spatial distribution of hothouse production in large urban settlement structures is determined by a number of social, economic, environmental, and historical factors as regards its spatial coverage, intensity, and directions of spatial expansion. The most important from among these factors are considered to be: long traditions of horticultural production in towns and suburban zones, size and absorptive power of the market estimated according to the number of non-agricultural population along with its food requirements and purchasing power, institutional forms of hothouse production functioning, size of settlement structures and dynamics of their development, dynamics and directions of spatial expansion, availability of trasport facilities from production site to sale points, and degree of air pollution in heavily urbanized and industrialized zones. Positive or negative influence of particular factors being correlated with one another determines primarily mechanisms of forming territorial systems of hothouse production in heavily urbanized areas. Pull understanding of these mechanisms provides a proper basis for planning and programming of spatial distribution and development of hothouse production in the analyzed areas.

The grain and milling industry in Central Poland is functioning in dilticult conditions. A low quality of the agricultural production land hampers growth of production of grain and especially of rye, which is the main grain crop here. The degree of utilization of the raw material base, measured by the share of grain purchases in its crops, is much lower than the national average. The storage capacities for storage of grain are insufficiently developed in relation to the existing needs both in quantitative and qualitative sense. It is also necessary to construct stores for processed grain products near mills. In Central Poland there is concentrated a considerable production potential of the grain and milling industry, which exceeds twofold production capacities of the local raw material base as well as the demand for grain products of the local population. Insufficient milling potential on the national scale accounts for a very high degree of utilization of the normative production capacities of grain mills. In the area under survey the existing reserves have been already utilized and further growth of the milling output calls for construction of new mills. In the situation when small private mills are insufficiently utilized it becomes necessary to pass to them a part of the grain for milling from the main milling industry. It is also necessary to rationalize inter-regional transport of grain products in order to restrict the overall and territorial volume of turnover in grain products.

The group of basic infrastructural and technical factors affecting development of agriculture is usually considered to include resources of draught force, mineral fertilization, provision of machines for agriculture, electrification of villages and supplying them with water. Resources and structure of draught force in Skierniewice province approach the national average, however, they are characterized with considerable spatial differentiation. Intensity of mineral fertilization is by one third lower than the national average, and dynamics of fertilization is equally low. Due to poor natural conditions of the local agricultural production this situation should be treated as most unfavorable. Agricultural production in this administrative province of Poland continues to show an unsatisfied demand for machinery and equipment. Mechanical services for individual) peasant farms are mainly performed by traditional equipment while modern machines are practically absent. In relation to the number of tractors the number of accompanying equipment appears to be largely insufficient. Electrification of villages has been completed but within the program of modernization farms ore gradually equipped with three-phase installations, which are already available in 80 per cent of farms. Despite full electrification of villages consumption of electric power continues to be low The province suffers from shortage in water supply being a permanent problem for 1.4 thousand forms. The water-supply system has been already constructed in 75 villages and 4.7 thousand farms but the demand is six times as high. Rural communes with good infrastructural and technical conditions to be found in northern and western part of the province while those with poorer conditions in central and western part.
