In the scenario excluding the subsidies received in the specialized farms, the factor productivity increases to 0.69, as the subsidies occupy about 10% of the available resources. The deteriorating factor productivity in vegetable production is due to the increased resource intensity, mainly in terms of capital costs and materials, which significantly exceed the gross increase in production for the period. The current estimates of SARA for the production of tomatoes this year is for quantities reaching 120 thousand tons, with 54 thousand tons amounting to greenhouse production and 66 thousand tons. for the Polish.
