This paper presents the findings of the most recent business survey (April 2004) in agriculture in the context of earlier surveys. All results were derived from the data collected from business surveys carried out by the Research Institute for Economic Development of Warsaw School of Economics since April 1992. The paper begins with a brief description of the survey and of the composite business indicator used to assess changes in business conditions in agriculture. Next it is shown that in the transformation period four distinct phases can be singled out, the latest being a stable recession. The survey data collected at RIED allow to identify factors differentiating business conditions, namely: region, farm's size, farmer's age and farmer's education level. These factors and their correlation with the perceived business condition in agriculture are also discussed. The last part of this paper contains an analysis of selected results of surveys, referring to financial conditions as perceived by farmers. (original abstract)
