Recently , a monograph of a doctoral dissertation on the comparing of the floricultural output and trade market in the Netherlands and Poland has appear on the market . While it is intuitively known that the Dutch one is big , the workplace itself shows in a very interesting style the dependencies and tendency in both floricultural market .

EU tradeIt is quite usual cognition that the blossom craft is dominated by the Netherlands . Dr. Cichocka ’s work offer further numbers to confirm this dissertation . According to Cichocka , the Netherlands ' plowshare in EU flower export was around 90 % in the cut flower sector and 70 % in potted peak . In the same study , Poland record a share of 0.65 % for cut prime and 0.84 % ​​for potted flower . We are sing about the years 2009 - 2021 . However , as you’re able to read in the body of work , a significant portion step-up in the fight of this sector was recorded in the pandemic years . The fight of the Polish potted plant life market increase by 8.57 % , while at the same time the competitiveness of the Dutch arable sector increase by only 0.74 % . However , with very low bulk turnover on the EU market , these data are not very significant for Poland ’s overall competitiveness position in this sphere .

Farm structureAccording to the publishing , the average area of ​​agricultural estate on farm in Poland and the Netherlands in 2009 - 2017 was quite like . In Poland it was 3.08 ha and in the Netherlands 3.19 ha . However , in the Netherlands a significant part of the arena was already occupy by greenhouse facilities , while in Poland it was not invest in the land : In 2008 - 2011 in the Netherlands over 30 % of farm had a glasshouse with an area of ​​1.5 ha , while in Poland in 2010 only 10 % of farm had a nursery with an area of ​​over 0.7 hour angle .

The structure of farms grow cut flowers in both countries is different . While in Poland this character of production is mainly carry out by minuscule and medium - sized farms , in the Netherlands it is large farms that top ( on average 11 fourth dimension larger than in Poland ) . difference were also visible in the amount of work : Dutch farm employed more than twice as many prole as compared to farm in Poland . At the same time , each subsequent ( statistical ) hectare of crops required less work from human race , which indicates near work arrangement and investment .

The costs of floriculture output under cover in the old age 2009 - 2017 were 21 times higher in the Netherlands than in Poland . A with child component of this situation is the difference in the level of payoff in both countries .

believe the kinetics of changes , a drop-off in costs per 1 ha of agricultural land was observe in both countries , which show an melioration in the efficiency of their utilization . However , in Poland , this decrease also applies to their stage on the scurf of the entire farm , which , given the come up price of yield factors , may signal deliverance on inputs in the yield process . Costs were used more efficiently in the Netherlands . Despite like yield and economical parameters of farms of the same socio-economic class , Polish farm are economically fallible than Dutch farm .

FlexibilityIn 2020 - 2021 , a decrement in the domain of ​​crops was visible in both nation , with the Dutch withdrawing 1355 ha from production in 2018 , which is approximately the same as the entire area under cover with floriculture production in Poland . However , in 2019 - 2021 it increase again by 545.62 ha . This show the flexibility of the Dutch in oversee their own resources .
