Abstract
The article assesses the importance of public funds and debt capital in financing investment outlays in agriculture in Poland in 2004-2022. The analysis used statistical data on inputs of production factors in agriculture, in particular investment outlays, as well as budget expenditure on agriculture, farmers’ credit indebtedness and leasing of agricultural machinery. The analysis included both nominal values and values adjusted for the CPI index. It has been shown that capital expenditure in agriculture increased in the years 2004-2022, including nominal and real investment expenditure. During the period under study, the importance of public funds, from the national budget and European funds, in financing agriculture increased. This also applied to investments in agricultural farms. In 2004-2019, a dynamic increase in investment outlays financed in the form of bank loans and leasing could also be observed. A positive correlation was demonstrated between investment expenditure in agriculture and the level of budget expenditure on agriculture and farmers’ credit indebtedness. In the last years of the period under review, i.e. 2020-2022, a decrease in the share of external capitals in the form of long-term bank loans and leasing in financing fixed assets in agriculture was observed.
