WSPIERANIE DOCHODÓW PRODUCENTÓW ROLNYCH WOBEC RYZYKA BIZNESOWEGO W ŁAŃCUCHU DOSTAW ŻYWNOŚCI

Abstract

The subject of consideration are issues related to the occurrence of business risk in agriculture, which stimulates the acquisition of income by agricultural producers. Its particular determinant in the supply chain of agricultural and food products are unfair trade practices. The aim of the article is to answer the question whether the legal regulations proposed at the European Union and national levels limit the occurrence of business risk in agricultural activity and thus protect agricultural producers against such practices. The European Union legislator recognizes the necessity of protecting both suppliers and purchasers of agricultural products and the legal solutions adopted may, to some extent, contribute to unification of approach in the Member States and serve to protect their addressees, although they are not comprehensive.
