Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the forms of vertical integration in the live pig market in Poland and in selected EU countries. The primary source of information has been the study of Polish and foreign reference books. There were used the data from the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and General Veterinary Inspectorate (GVI) in Poland. Into the the research used to case study method for detailed presentation of forms of integration in selected pork markets in the EU. The analysis comprised three different systems present in the Denmark, French and in the Netherlands live pig markets. Then these systems compared them with solutions used in Poland. Especially, different conditions and constraints of domestic market integration are concerned. Due to a significant dispersion of operators in the Polish live pig market, it is expedient to increase vertical integration in the country. Adopting the solutions implemented in Denmark, France or Netherlands poses some difficulty as their special characteristics and conditions differ from Polish ones. The development of vertical integration should be supported by the largest shareholders and state institutions. A helpful tool should be the creation of appropriate economics mechanisms facilitating this process.
