 abstract={The article determines efficiency of agriculture in the EU Member States in 2014 based on Data Envelopment Analysis method. The DEA model focused on minimizing inputs. The model features the following variables: 1 effect (value of agricultural production) and 4 inputs (arable area, number of people employed in agriculture, use of fertilizers, use of energy). It was found that among the 25 studied countries, 6 countries had efficient agriculture. The efficient agriculture group included the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, the UK, Italy and Belgium. Based on the DEA method benchmarks have been defined for countries with inefficient agriculture. On the basis of these benchmarks for inefficient agricultural sectors, it is possible to determine a combination of technologies that allow the same results to be achieved with less input. The efficiency of agriculture in Poland fared poorly compared to other EU Member States. The reason behind it might be structural problems, low labour and land productivity in the agricultural sector in Poland and the extensive nature of agricultural production.},
