Functions of the food-processing industry in promoting the development of agricultural regions in Poland
调查了波兰农业和食品加工业的空间分布不均，通过案例研究分析了加工业与原料产地的紧密联系对双方及国家规划的好处。
This article presents a comprehensive survey of the unequal spatial distribution of Polish agriculture, and of its processing industry. The present location of the food-processing industry does not conform to the location of the raw material production, nor to the location of markets for consumer goods. The functions which a processing industry could perform in its supplying region are analysed on the basis of a detailed case study, from which it becomes clear that close linkages between producer and processor can be established for the benefit of both, thereby providing also an opportunity to include the private sector of agriculture in a state planning system.
