Title | The Wood Pellet Sector: Barriers to Growth and Opinions of Manufacturers in Poland |
Słowa kluczowe | renewable energy, wood pellet stoves, raw material, imports, quality, rural household |
Key words | renewable energy, wood pellet stoves, raw material, imports, quality, rural household |
Abstrakt | Biomass is a major source of renewable energy in the EU and Poland, stimulating the growth of the wood pellet sector. Wood pellet demand is stimulated by a complex interaction of market forces and policies including EU climate, energy, and environmental regulations, Poland’s program to improve air quality, and subsidies for the replacement of inefficient stoves used by households. This article focuses on the growth of the wood pellet industry, imports and exports in Poland, and wood pellet quality and use by households. The main issues faced by the EU wood pellet sector between 2013 and 2016 are further considered in the context of opinions of Polish wood pellet manufacturers. Industry opinions were collected in response to an open-ended question that probed for the main issues faced by wood pellet producers during the survey implemented by the authors in 2019. Respondents identified difficulties in obtaining raw material for pellet production and poor pellet quality as major problems. Although the majority did not feel concerned about competition from imported wood pellets, a small number of respondents viewed such competition as a problem reflecting the reversal of decreasing imports in 2017. Overall, the domestic wood pellet industry can be expected to grow because of increasing pressure to expand the use of renewable energy and will be driven by the household sector switching to more efficient, wood burning stoves. Additionally, the expanding area of private Polish forests may become a source of much-needed raw material for wood pellet manufacturing. |

Abstrakt | Thermal solar panel installation has been growing in Poland in response to the EU policies and available subsidies. This paper investigates the attitudes of residents of four counties in Mazowieckie Voividship in Poland about the origin of solar panels. Results show that rural residents did not attach importance to awarding preferences to domestic solar panel producers or to foreign producers in exchange of trade benefits. The recycling of used solar panels concerned a relatively small portion of respondents and seems to justify the passage of regulations obligating the solar panel industry to recycle the used panels. |

Key words | FADN data, FADN regions, FADN subregions, cost frontier function, fixed effects, inefficiency, cost efficiency index |
Abstrakt | Efektywność kosztów w subsektorze mlecznym analizowano na podstawie danych z dwóch regionów FADN i czterech podregionów w Polsce w okresie 2004/2005-2007/2008. Indeksy efektywności kosztów wyliczono dla każdego gospodarstwa z dwóch regionów FADN i podzielanych z nich dwóch subregionów. Analiza na poziomie regionów i subregionów wskazała na duże różnice we względnej efektywności kosztów gospodarstw mlecznych w każdym obszarze. Analiza subregionalna wskazała, że pod względem najwydajniejszego gospodarstwa w danym obszarze, subregion podlaskie-łódzkie miał większy udział wysoko wydajnych gospodarstw niż subregion wielkopolskie-kujawsko-pomorskie. Ogólnie, na każdym obszarze znajduje się duża liczba gospodarstw, które mogłyby poprawić efektywność kosztową. Ze względu na położenie przetwórców mleka, gospodarstwa mleczne mają względną przewagę w dwóch wymienionych subregionach i w regionie Pomorskie-Mazury, natomiast subregion mazowieckie-lubelskie ma łatwy dostęp do największego rynku reprezentowanego przez Warszawę i okolice. Przemysł mleczarski może tworzyć miejsca pracy w podregionanch wiodących w produkcji mleka, szczególnie jeśli weliminowanie kwot produkcji mleka w 2014 r. spowoduje wzrost popytu na mleko i produkty mleczne w krajach sąsiednich i doprowadzi do wzrostu produkcji mleka. |
Abstract | The cost efficiency of the dairy subsector has been analyzed using data for two FADN regions and four subregions in Poland for the period 2004/05-2007/08. The cost efficiency indexes have been calculated for each farm from two FADN regions and two other FADN regions after each was further subdivided into two subregions. Both regional and subregional analyses revealed large differences in relative cost efficiency of dairy farms in each area. In particular, the subregional analysis suggests that Podlaskie and Łódzkie subregion seem to have a relatively larger number of very efficient dairy farms followed by the Wielkopolskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie subregion. Overall, however, every region seems to have a large number of farms, which could improve their cost efficiency. Given the location of dairy processors, dairy farms in the two mentioned subregions and the region of Pomorskie and Mazury have a relative advantage, while the subregion Mazowieckie and Lubelskie has an easy access to the largest market represented by Warsaw and surroundings. The dairy industry may generate some jobs in subregions leading in milk production, especially if the elimination of milk quota in 2014 will increase demand for milk and dairy products in neighboring countries leading to expansion of milk production. |

Abstrakt | Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie zarysu tematyki związanej z szeroko pojętymi kwestiami rolnictwa, leśnictwa, przemysłu i gospodarowania zasobami naturalnymi w krajach Stowarzyszenia Narodów Azji Południowo-Wschodniej (ASEAN – The Association of Southeast Asia Nations). ASEAN to bardzo ciekawy przykład regionalnego ugrupowania integracyjnego w krajach pozaeuropejskich, które w rozwoju zwraca uwagę na różne dziedziny gospodarki, w tym na rolnictwo, leśnictwo i gospodarowanie zasobami naturalnymi. Dla różnych ugrupowań integracyjnych w świecie tematyka związana z polityką zarządzania zasobami naturalnymi jest niezwykle ważna. Dotyczy to także krajów członkowskich ASEAN. |
Abstract | The purpose of this article was to outline the issues related to agriculture, forestry, industry and management of natural resources in the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). ASEAN is a very interesting example of a regional integration grouping in countries overseas. In its development draws attention to various sectors of the economy, including agriculture, forestry and natural resources. The various integration forms related to natural resources policy is an extremely important issue for member countries of ASEAN. Natural resources are very important segment of their economies. |

Abstrakt | W opracowaniu przestawiono ewolucję systemu finansowania nauczania uniwersyteckiego, badań oraz doradztwa w USA. Przedstawiono znaczenie środków z budżetu federalnego i budżetu stanowego oraz finansowanie przez organizacje producenckie, które mają możliwość finansowego wspierania badań z własnych środków. |
Abstract | The objective of his article has been dictated by the interests of the agricultural economics profession in Poland as it adjusts to the ever changing system of public support of its research and teaching programs. Learning how similar issues have been approached by their colleagues in other countries offers insights into the applied solution and the adjustments required to effectively perform the two functions and continue to serve public at large, the food and fiber sector and policy makers. |
