ABSTRACT
Research aimed to grouping the EU 27 states in homogeneous sets as regards similarities in the capacities and capabilities of crop agricultural production and ranking of Polish position in the context of this issue. The agglomerative method of clustering was used for this purpose. The states with high rates of harvesting of yields per hectare, i.e. Austria, Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, Sweden, Slovenia, Ireland, Finland, Great Britain, Italy constitute a numerous group admitted to one cluster. Poland has a high proportion of arable land in EU and also one of the lowest rate of the yields per hectare. The study was conducted using the Statistica 10.0.
