Usługi w procesie modernizacji rolnictwa w regionie Małopolski

The analysis was based on the results of surveys carried out at private fanus randomly selected in 1987 and 1996 in the Strzyżów commune situated in the Podkarpackie voivodship. The studies have confirmed that production services are insufficiently developed. Both their intensiveness and subject range within which they are provided reveal that they are not an active instrument of structural changes of fragmentated agriculture but only a supplement of current technical potentia] of fanus. Services for agriculture definitely dominate in the structure of services and among them mechanization, construction and repair services prevail, whereas transport has only a minor share. In the subject structure of the provided services significant changes have occurred, revealed as an increase in services provided by private entitiens (craftsmann's services and rent) at the cost diminished share of cooperative service providers. Neighbourly help, particulary with field works, occupies an important position in the structure of services.
