The considerations aim at the research for the optimum relations of agriculture with the other segments of the food economy complex (FEC). The results enable them to formulate the following conclusions about the participation of FEC in the creation and distribution of accumulation: 1. In the sphere I the changes took the form of increased technical modernization and innovativeness accompanied by a simultaneous decrease of import. At the same time infrastructural services in that sphere remained underdeveloped. 2. During the analysed period (1977 -1987), and especially in the end of the 1980s, a relative improvement in the amount of industrial means of production for agriculture from spheres I and II was noted. 3. The amount of industrial means of production for sphere III, including imported goods, remained relatively low, though the improvement noted in years 1986 -1987 may signify a progress in the modernization of production basis of food-processing industry. Generally speaking, in the analysed period positive changes in the structure of the FEC took place. This tendency is more conspicuous in the second half of the 1980s. It manifested itself through a quickened pace of the industrialization of agriculture and the beginnings of the modernization of food-processing industry. These processes are not accompanied by the progress in the efficiency of agricultural production. The efficiency of that production relatively decreased; it could be interpreted in terms of differences as to developmental tendencies between the agricultural sector and other sectors of the FEC. This situation is clearly detrimental for the integration processes within the FEC and hinders the economic progress in relations between agriculture and non-agricultural surrounding.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
