“…The research concerned the raw milk market. It was chosen purposefully because of: The significant position of the milk sector in the Polish agribusiness and in the EU [8,9], very low transport and storage related raw material vulnerability, everyday production and necessity of frequent milk supplies to processing plants [42], numerous transformations in the sector including, inter alia, changes in spatial concentration of production and important changes in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) concerning, inter alia, milk quotas.

The production of milk is an essential branch of agricultural production in Poland. There have been considerable changes in the milk market in Poland over the last 20 years (such as, e.g., the adjustment of the market to the EU requirements, which had an impact on the functioning of this market as well as its spatial integration. This research mainly aimed to assess the processes of spatial integration on the Polish milk market in the period 1999–2018. In order to process the material collected, the author applied the analysis of price differences, the analysis of correlation, the Johansen test of cointegration and the Granger causality test. As a result of the research conducted, it was found that there is a long-term balance between prices in various voivodeships in Poland. Moreover, the closer the voivodeships were to one another, the greater the co-variability of prices was between them. In addition, it was indicated which voivodeships were crucial from the point of view of the process of revealing and determining raw milk prices in Poland by two distinguished periods (1999–2008 and 2009–2018).

“…Farms with more cows are in the best position [51]. Bórawski et al investigated the impact of the removal of quotas on the production of milk on farms in Poland and the EU [8]. The number of dairy holdings in Poland has decreased, but it is still high.…”

“…The agri-food trade balance has increased for most of the newer members of the EU over time. Integration has resulted in higher food consumption and food exports (Bórawski et al, 2020). The EU had improved the balance of agri-food products trade with outside countries with imports increasing only 98,4% while exports increased by 146,3%.…”

“…The lowest economic stability of dairy farms was characterized by dairy farms from Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Romania and Slovenia. Dairy farms in these countries encounter problems in development including small possibility to increase farm area and dairy herd, lower cow's yields and fertility (Borawski et al, 2020). Romania (4), Lithuania (11), Croatia (13), Bulgaria (14), Austria and Poland (both 18) had the fewest number of cows in dairy farms in 2016.…”

“…One of the most important problem of milk production is decreased fertility. It is the results of rising production and larger numbers of animals per worker (Borawski et al, 2020). The profitability of dairy farms can be improved by new technologies, better nutrition, herd management and advances in genetics (Stelwagen et al, 2013).…”

Purpose: The objective of this research is to evaluate changes in the economic sustainability of dairy farms in the European Union (EU) countries during 2007-2016 when dairy quotas were being removed in the EU. We wanted to answer the question what is the economic sustainability of dairy farms in the EU, and how has the economic sustainability in the EU countries changed after the accession of new member states in 2004 and 2017. Design/Approach/Methodology: An economic sustainability assessment of farms was conducted using the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) census data with several economic efficiency indicators. We analyzed variables using the Hellwig method. Findings: Results indicate that milk production increased in almost all the countries of the EU, as did their economies. The largest annual increase in standard output (SO) was in Denmark, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Sweden and United Kingdom. In turn, the smallest annual increase in SO was in Lithuania, Bulgaria, Latvia and Poland. Dairy farms in the Czech Republic and Denmark had the highest economic sustainability, while dairy farms in Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Romania and Slovenia had the lowest economic sustainability. Practical Implications: While not providing a comprehensive assessment, the indicators used do provide important information about economic impacts related to the scale and distribution of production, difference in labor cost, sources of income and maintenance of farms. Originality/Value: Modern dairy farms must have production efficiency and environmental compliance to achieve sustainability. Much of the current literature focuses on the efficiency and environmental aspects of sustainability and there is a lack of data that assesses economic sustainability.
