Supply chain restructuring and its impact on farmers has become the subject of interest among agricultural economists. However, there have been relatively few studies trying to quantitatively asses this issue. With data from the dairy sector in Poland, we investigate factors determining farmers’ participation in the modern market channel and the impact of supply-chain modernization on farm revenues. We find that joining the modern market channel is crucially dependent on access to funds and facilitated by having larger cow herds. Further, with the help of instrumental variables, it is shown that joining themodern market channel positively affects farmers’ revenues.

Background: Agriculture is a production system in which the economic principles of organisation act in mutual dependence with its ecological boundaries. Objectives: Building on this premise, the paper evaluates performance of a chosen agricultural production system (dairy production in Slovenia) from two complementary perspectives, the socio-economic and the biophysical. Methods/Approach: The latter is presented by means of emergy analysis, which is a system-based approach that measures the aggregate work of biosphere needed for the provision of goods or services in the units of solar energy joules. The novelty aspect of this paper is the introduction of emergy indicators into the standard socioeconomic optimisation model of the chosen agricultural production system. The optimisation model based on linear mathematical programming is designed to empirically investigate different alternatives to the sector’s reorganisation. Results: The results of the optimisation models suggest considerable restructuring of the sector and, consequently, large discrepancies in the sector’s performance. Conclusions: The results suggest that further expansion of organic production systems as a result of a stronger environmental focus in farm management would improve the sector from both, the socio-economic and the emergy perspective. Moreover, even pursuing certain socio-economic targets may improve the sector’s biophysical performance and lower pressure on the local environment.

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the use of trade credit by dairies in Poland, taking into account their legal form – cooperative versus non-cooperative dairies. The survey covered 113 dairies in Poland, of which 55.8% were cooperatives and 44.2% were entities operating in another form. The study concerned  the years 2018–2020. The financial data used in this paper was retrieved from the Emerging Markets Information Service database (EMIS). The results show that trade receivables were an important item in total assets and current assets of dairies, and trade payables were an important source of financing their operations. During the period under consideration, the dairies surveyed reduced their use of trade credit, especially as a trade creditor. The number of net trade debtors increased in 2020 relative to previous years due to the increase in their number in the group of dairy cooperatives. The dairies surveyed were slightly faster in recovering trade receivables than repaying their obligations to suppliers. In 2020 relative to 2018, most dairies shortened their cash conversion cycle. Non-cooperative dairies showed higher average shares of trade receivables in total assets and current assets than cooperatives, which can be linked to differences in their goals. Dairy cooperatives paid off their trade payables and collected trade receivables faster, as well as managed their inventories more efficiently than their non-cooperative counterparts.

Zasadniczym celem artykułu jest ocena wykorzystania kredytu kupieckiego przez mleczarnie w Polsce z uwzględnieniem ich formy prawnej jako spółdzielczych lub niespółdzielczych mleczarni. Badaniem objęto 113 mleczarni w Polsce, z czego 55,8%  stanowiły spółdzielnie, a 44,2% – podmioty prowadzące działalność w innej formie. Analiza dotyczyła lat 2018–2020. Dane finansowe potrzebne do realizacji badania pozyskano z bazy EMIS. Badanie wykazało, że należności z tytułu udzielonego kredytu handlowego stanowiły ważną pozycję aktywów ogółem oraz aktywów obrotowych badanych mleczarni, a zobowiązania handlowe były istotnym źródłem finansowania ich działalności. W rozważanym okresie analizowane podmioty ograniczyły swoje zaangażowanie w zakresie wykorzystania kredytu kupieckiego, zwłaszcza w charakterze jego dawcy. W 2020 r. względem lat wcześniejszych wzrosła liczba biorców per saldo kredytu kupieckiego za sprawą zwiększenia się ich liczby w grupie spółdzielni mleczarskich. Badane mleczarnie nieco szybciej odzyskiwały należności handlowe niż spłacały swoje zobowiązania wobec dostawców. W 2020 r. względem 2018 r. w większości mleczarni odnotowano skrócenie cyklu konwersji gotówki. Niespółdzielcze mleczarnie wykazywały wyższe średnie udziały należności handlowych w aktywach ogółem oraz aktywach obrotowych niż spółdzielnie, co można wiązać z różnicami w zakresie ich celów. Spółdzielnie mleczarskie szybciej spłacały swoje zobowiązania handlowe i ściągały należności handlowe oraz sprawniej zarządzały swoimi zapasami niż inne podmioty z sektora.
