- Abstract
The comparison of the Visegrad countries in different economic aspects dates back many years. In addition to the usual Visegrad Four, our study includes Romania and Bulgaria due to its decades-long similar socio-economic situation after World War II. The results of benchmarking studies help to set up different rankings, which provide additional opportunities for a country to develop further in a given area and thus to play a leading role in the region, however also to contribute if a country’s economic indicators below average, more emphasis should be placed on strengthening and improving them. Agriculture, including arable crops, has undergone continuous technical and technological development over the past decades, which, depending of course on other factors, has helped to increase the efficiency of the sector. The structure of production, human resources, assets and capital goods are all linked to output and output production, and we have tried to explore these links using descriptive statistical methods. our results have revealed differences in human capital and asset endowments of crop farms by country and by nine-year time series, and have also allowed us to assess the efficiency of agricultural activity using combinations of different output-input factors. The results were influenced by the agricultural economic policies of each country after the change of regime, as well as by the production tradition and market-oriented conditions of the last three decades. We found that the larger average farm sizes of Czech and Slovak farms in most cases show better performance and efficiency indicators compared to the other countries examined. Polish and Romanian farms’ labour input efficiency is below that of the other countries, but the trend for this indicator is upwards for all countries. The asset endowment per holding is also increasing in all the regions examined.
