ECONOMICS ASPECTS OF THE OPERATION OF COMMODITY EXCHANGE ON THE AGRICULTURAL MARKET
Abstract
Started in the early 90’s, systematic transformation in Poland brought a completely new
economic reality to rural communities and agricultural sector. A direction of economic development
taken at the time laid foundations for future creation of favourable conditions for the
development of commodity exchanges as necessary instruments for proper functioning of market
economy.
In Poland, modem commodity exchanges have developed since 1990. During that period
a model for a commodity exchange has evolved in adaptation to current economic conditions.
Empirical studies were carried out, focusing on:
— market orientation o f forms,
— types of information needed and the sources of such information,
— standardisation of goods,
— perception of the role of commodity exchange.
The studies confirm the opinions that Polish agricultural market was weak. Even though the
market has a well-developed and, in many cases, modem technical infrastructure necessary for its
proper functioning, it was proved that the market’s institutional and organisational dimensions as
well as the educational barrier among market participants - do considerably slow down its
growth. Under such circumstances, a commodity exchange - in addition to its statutory activities
— needs to take part in a development of agricultural market institutions, adjusting thus the level
of its own activity to their needs and requirements.
