The present production capacity of the fruit-and-vegetable processing industry in eight administrative provinces of central Poland constituting the food-supply area for Łódź allows to process ca 60-70 thousand ton of fruit and 100 110 thousand ton of vegetables annually, which represents 27 per cent and 17 per cent of their annual pick respectively, and about 50 per cent and 40 per cent of their average purchases in a year characterized with quite good crops. The biggest production capacity is possessed by the food-processing industry of Skierniewice, Płock, Włocławek, and Kalisz provinces. Despite quite a considerable intensity of horticultural production in the vicinity of many plants, the supplies from other and sometimes quite distant provinces play a big role in processing of fruit and vegetables. This is especially true in case of fruit. Further desirable development of the processing industry in central Poland should envisage expansion of a network of small and medium-sized processing plants consuming 5 to 10 thousand ton of raw materials grown and picked in the radius of 15 kms from these plants. While choosing location for such plants preference should be given to the already operating small processing plants situated on areas of potential surpluses of horticultural production. This refers first of all to the administrative provinces of Sieradz, Piotrków, and Konin in which the level of output of the fruit-and-vegetable processing industry in relation to annual pick of vegetables and fruit and their centralized purchasing displays low indices. As regards the raw-material supply areas for majority of plants it becomes necessary to expand the area on which vegetables are grown to at least 3 thousand hectare and to 6 thousand hectare in ca se of fruit with adaptation of their qualitative and variety structure to requirements of the industry. Operations of this kind should pave the way for closer spatial and functional ties between the fruit-and-vegetable processing industry in central Poland and the local horticultural production.

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 refrigerating engineering is the youngest and simultaneously the most dynamically developing branch of the food-processing industry in Poland. It groups 16 companies having at their disposal 58 cold stores, which are distributed throughout the whole country (Fig. 1), In the area under survey this industry is represented by The Refrigerating Engineering Company in Łódź and by The Central Laboratory of the Refrigerating Engineering in Łódź. The Central Laboratory of the Refrigerating Engineering is a research and development centre. Its production of frozen foodstuffs constitutes a secondary-type activity, and it is carried out at the level of about 250 ton in The Experimental Plant of Frozen Foodstuffs. In the future the plant is to supply 800 ton of food products with the entire output being left in Poland. The Refrigerating Engineering Company in Łódź is the main producer and distributor of frozen foodstuffs in the nearby administrative provinces of Łódź, Piotrków, Sieradz, Płock, and Skierniewice. It has 3 cold stores with a total refrigeration capacity of 212 ton per day. The storage capacity of the company meets the demand of the region for frozen foodstuffs in 70 per cent. The company performs services in the field of storage and refrigeration of foodstuffs and produces between 6 and 7 thousand ton of frozen fruit and vegetables, readymade foodstuffs and ice-creams per year (Table 1). Its output goes in GO per cent to the domestic market, while export includes frozen fruit only (60 to 80 per cent of production). The company can process 25 to 30 per cent of the total quantity of goods while the remaining part is sent to other cold stores in Poland within the framework of co-operation. In turn, the se cold stores send between 3 and 5 thousand ton of their own products to The Refrigerating Engineering Company in Łódź. In this way the company is able to supply between 6 and 7 thousand ton of frozen foodstuffs a year to the above mentioned 5 administrative provinces. About 65 per cent of all frozen foodstuffs are sold in the administrative province of Łódź (Tables 5 and 6).

The meat-processing industry has been holding a leading position among several food-proccssing industries since mid-seventies . Its production capacities till 1975 represented an insufficient level in relation to the commodity animal production in the nutrition zone of Łódź urban administrative province (including provinces of Łódź, Piotrków, Płock, Sieradz, and Skierniewice). Increase of production capacities achieved through putting on stream a big plant at Rawa Mazowiecka accompanied by decline in animal production caused that the analyzed region possesses idle production capacities to the tune of 20 to 30 per cent of total capacities. The final production of the meat-processing industry determined by the le v e l of centralized purchasing of slaughter animals has been showing a downward trend s in c e 1977. Ready products go mainly for supply of the nutrition zone and for export. Possibilities of increasing production capacities of the meat-processing industry will depend upon expansion of animal breeding. The basic task of the meat-processing industry in the coming years will be to reconstruct the le v e l of centralized purchasing of slaughter animals and thus of per capita consumption from 1975.
