Description
Summary:This paper discusses the changes in the structure of agricultural input products market and its possible impact to the relationships of the entities creating the market triad (agricultural producers, trade companies, and pesticides producers). The data presented in the paper cover the period from 2010 to 2016 and were collected from secondary sources: official public statistics and research institute named Kleffmann & Partner. The market analysed in the article is in the phase of structural changes which concern each group of enterprises forming the triad of the market. However, the rate of changes is more dynamic among farmers and trade companies. Those changes will have an impact on relations arrangements existing both between entities forming a given group and entities from different groups. As an intermediate link, trade companies seem to face the most challenging environment due to the structural changes at the farms and producers level.
