Abstract
Supply chain restructuring and its
impact on farmers’ situation have
become the subject of vast interest
among agricultural economists.
However, there have been relatively few
studies trying to quantitatively asses this
issue. This paper analyses the impact of
supply chain modernisation on dairy
farmers in Poland. It is shown that
joining the modern marketing channel
positively affects farmers’ incomes. The
decision to enter the modern channel is
crucially dependent on access to funds
and facilitated by having larger cow
herds.
