The main aim of the article is to evaluate the dynamics of reproduction processes taking place in Polish agriculture considering different production types in farms following the integration with the EU. It was observed that in the period of economic revival in Poland (2004-2007), farms were more active in modernising their production potentials. In the analysed period (2004-2010), farms covered by the FADN system were showing mostly narrowed reproduction, with the exception of 2004 when extended reproduction was recorded. It was observed that, in the case of farms specialising in milk production, the modernisation processes ensured extended reproduction throughout the entire analysed period. Also farms specialising in horticultural production and animal breeding in grazing system stood out positively. On the contrary, farms lacking specialisation showed assets decapitalisation. The phenomena resulted from limited ability of these farms to generate surpluses for financing development as well as the fact that they were less prone to invest. It should be noted, however, that these farms play an important role in creating welfare in rural areas understood in broader terms as well as in maintaining settlement network, stability and viability in rural areas.
