Abstract

Głównym celem pracy było zidentyfikowanie zasobowych uwarunkowań konkurencyjności sektora rolnego w UE, Japonii, Kanadzie, Wietnamie i państwach Mercosur. Dokonano analizy zasobów czynników wytwórczych i relacji między nimi oraz struktury gospodarstw rolnych w wymienionych wyżej regionach. Przeprowadzone badania dowiodły, że analizowane państwa posiadają silny potencjał konkurencyjny. Największe zasoby pracy skupia rolnictwo wietnamskie, mimo 40% odpływu w ostatnich latach osób pracujących. W rolnictwie UE zaobserwowano duże nakłady środków trwałych brutto. Natomiast rolnictwo wietnamskie charakteryzuje się największą dynamiką nakładów kapitałowych. Kanada i państwa Mercosur charakteryzują się znaczącą ilością użytków rolnych i skoncentrowaną strukturą agrarną, przez co mogą korzystać z efektów skali produkcji, a to z kolei determinuje ich konkurencyjność na arenie światowej. Odwrotna sytuacja jest w Japonii i Wietnamie, gdzie ponad 90% gospodarstw rolnych zajmuje powierzchnię o wielkości do 5 ha. The main purpose of this paper was to identify the resource conditions for the competitiveness of the agricultural sector in the European Union (EU), Japan, Canada, Vietnam, and Mercosur countries. The study proved that these countries demonstrate a strong competitive potential. The largest labor resources are found in the Vietnamese agriculture, even though it has witnessed an outflow of 40% of its workforce over the recent years. The EU exhibits high levels of gross fixed capital formation in the agricultural sector. Conversely, the Vietnamese agriculture recorded the fastest growth in capital expenditure. Canada and Mercosur countries have a considerable area of agricultural land and a concentrated agrarian structure, and thus can benefit from economies of scale which, in turn, determine their global competitiveness. It is the opposite in Japan and Vietnam, with over 90% of farms having an area up to 5 ha.
