Impact of the directions of investment on the production and economical effects of farms in the Bydgoszcz sub-region

The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of the direction of investment on selected production and economical effects of farms in the Bydgoszcz sub-region. The data collected by the Agricultural Advisory Centre in Minikowo for 1994- -2007 concerning the opinions issued for the farmers applying for preferential loans con-stituted the basic source of information. Moreover, the results of FADN accountancy were also used. 220 farms that made use of preferential loans and uninterruptedly ran accoun-tancy in 2004-2008 were covered by the analysis. Deferred results of investments initiated in 1994were assessed. The conducted studies do not make it possible to determine precisely the impact of the investment’s direction on the production and economical effects of farms, as the separated groups of farms are not uniform from the point of view of the purpose of the studies.
