Abstract
Description
The aim of the research was to assess the potential
of the bioeconomy in Poland in comparison with the European
Union countries. The research used an indicator of added value,
the number of people employed and the value of turnover for in-
dividual sectors included in the bioeconomy. An analysis of the
structure of indicators in Poland in 2020, compared to other EU
countries, allowed us to determine the level of development of
the country’s bioeconomy. The analysis shows that Poland is
a leader in terms of employment in the EU bioeconomy. Howev-
er, the assessment of potential in terms of added value and value
of turnover in the bioeconomy placed Poland in fifth position.
The reason for this is Poland’s characteristic fragmented agrarian
structure and excessive employment in the agricultural sector. An
opportunity to redress the imbalance is to obtain EU funding and
support for research and innovation.
