Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to identify the dynamics and direction of market development root crops in Poland through to determine the relationship resource, improving the efficiency associated with the cultivation of potatoes and sugar beet. The studies concluded in the period 1994 to 2013. On this basis, it turned out that despite the ongoing process of concentration and specialization of production on the market in Poland, root crops, resulting in a significant reduction in cultivated acreage and number of growers, production efficiency significantly decreased post-accession period. Only thanks to the subsidies granted to the production of sugar beet, in this market there was a slight increase in this indicator. This confirms therefore that the root crop growers operating under the so-called “technological treadmill”.
