Changes that accompanied the transformation process in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe had a specially strong impact on the agricultural sector. In the general opinion of farmers these changes were largely discordant with expectations formulated vis-a-vis the farmers. This article represents an attempt at analysing the causes of this incongruousness. The article also presents examples of institutional solutions prepared in reaction to such state of affairs and it identifies the factors that were decisive for the pace and scope of the solutions' preparation.

European Integration - together with the introduction of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) instruments - has been the most important driving force behind dairy sector restructuring in Poland in the last decade. Transformations occurring after 1995 at the level of agricultural holdings covered not only the volume of production, but also influenced the importance of various marketing channels. The aim of the paper is to analyse the determinants of marketing channel choices made by producers and effects thereof on the financial situation of farms. The research allows for the assumption that changing the marketing channel from deliveries to the collection point (traditional channel) for direct milk connection at the farm (modern channel) positively affects the financial situation of the farms. The selection of a modern marketing channel seems to be conditioned by the exogenous rather than endogenous factors. Neither human capital nor households' initial physical assets are the decisive factors, It is rather the access to funds that would allow for undertaking necessary adjustments. The nature and specific conditions of the dairy sector in Poland provides better opportunity for the growth of smaller production units than in the countries characterised by a more concentrated production, where such farms would not be able to survive.

The process of diversification of income sources of the rural population is currently one of the main factors determining the pace and direction of the restructuring of rural areas in Poland. The aim of this paper is to provide an answer to the question how - in terms of remuneration, the strategy of diversification of income sources pursued by farmers looks like against the background of strategies of earning money exclusively outside agriculture and against the background of a strategy basing wholly on agricultural sources of income. For the purpose of the presented analysis the authors used a methodology based on matching techniques and data collected during a series of surveys called 'Social Diagnosis' carried out in 2000, 2003 and 2005. The results of these surveys indicate that in the 2003-2005 period the strategy of diversification of activities failed to produce sufficient impulses encouraging farmers to reduce their involvement in agriculture. More attractive - in terms of income, was the strategy of earning money exclusively outside agriculture. However, due to various reasons it did not help ease the problem of agrarian overpopulation to any significant extent.
