AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION IN TERMS OF RELATIONS WITH THE NATIONAL ECONOMY (Tworzenie i rozdysponowywanie produkcji rolnej na tle zwiazków z gospodarka narodowa)

The aim of the paper was to present the material procurement of the agricultural sector as well as the processes of creating and distributing of agricultural products' supply in Poland and in Germany. The economic development led to the growth of importance of the sectors providing means of production and rendering services to the agricultural sector in the material procurement of agriculture. As agriculture is becoming mainly a primary production sector, its significance in this scope has diminished. It is confirmed by the fact that the supply of agricultural products is intended mainly for indirect consumption. Apart from self-supply, agriculture is an important raw material supplier for the food industry and other branches of the country's economy. The remaining, smaller part of supply is intended for fulfilling a final demand especially including the consumption in households.
