Abstract

Obecnie większość produktów rolnych jest wytwarzanych i dostarczanych w oparciu o umowy produkcyjne. Istnieje wiele typów kontraktów, które potencjalnie mogą być zawierane przez rolników z przetwórcami, pośrednikami, etc. Zawierając umowę producent rolny zmniejsza ryzyko produkcji oraz stabilizuje dochód. Z uwagi na to, że pomiędzy poszczególnymi stanami istnieją duże różnice we wzorcach omawiany kontraktów, dlatego też nie jest możliwe określenie jednego wspólnego ich modelu. (abstrakt oryginalny)

Nowadays agricultural production is more and more based on the production contracts. There are many types of them that can be conducted by a farmer and processing plants, brokers, etc. Signing the contract a farmer reduces the production risk and stabilizes his revenue. Because the legal system varies from state to state there are some regularities and models that can be followed. Unfortunately the differences do not allow to define one common pattern of contact.
