This article is an overview of potential opportunities for increasing the total acreage cropped with winter oilseed rape in Poland. Production of oilseed rape, which is additionally used as substrate for making biofuel, should first of all cover the demand for this crop as food and feed. The total area of farmland under oilseed rape in Poland should be about 1.3 million ha. The growing share of liquid fuel biocomponents (in line with the National Index Target) will force us to spare much higher quantities of oilseed rape seeds for energy purposes. Any further increase of the arable land cropped with winter oilseed rape is hindered by certain organizational and economic limitations; hence it will be necessary to improve the yields of this crop in order to satisfy the domestic demand for oily seeds. Although this goal is realistic, it is not an easy one to achieve.
