This paper presents the competitiveness of Polish and German farms specialized in field crops. The competitiveness index, as adopted from W. Kleinhanss, was used for that purpose. It represents the relation between farm income and costs of own productive inputs. The competitiveness of farms analyzed was assessed in three periods: 2006-2008, 2010-2012 and 2014-2016, based on agricultural accounting data of the European FADN. The economic size of farms was expressed in ESU in the first period and in thousand EUR of standard output (SO) in the second and third period. The study showed that Polish farms in corresponding economic size classes exhibited a higher competitive capacity. They had a larger utilized agricultural area (UAA), a lower value of assets per hectare of UAA and per AWU and a lower level of production intensity. Also, they were less dependent on all types of subsidies. In Polish farms, the organization of production- expressed as the share of cereals in utilized agricultural area-was less sustainable (original abstract)
