ABSORPTION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION FUNDS BY FARMERS OF THE WESTERN KUJAWY ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE KCYNIA COMMUNE
Abstract
The uneven development of European countries has led to the creation of the Common Agricultural Policy. The aim was to standardise the European agricultural market and related market. The CAP was supposed to finance the factors of production such as land, labour and capital. In order to achieve these objectives, Member States have decided to support individual farmers to increase their income and thus translate into increased investment, the purchase of the most needed raw materials or a change in the way they farm.
The presented study was aimed at confirming whether the inhabitants of the Kcynia commune are willing to use the European Union aid programs. The research conducted among residents confirmed the hypothesis that the majority of respondents willingly used EU programs. Respondents often used more than one program, moreover, the respondents willingly used the support provided to them, the material status in their perception increased, and the way to obtain funds was quick and understandable.
