Tha article contains presentation of the findings of studies on relations
of prices on three main dimensions. The first of them is the analysis of relations
between official prices at which agricultural products are purchased
from fanners and their free-market prices. The goal’ of the analysis here is
to answer the question whether there occur clear, noticeable changes in relations
of prices in this sphere, and if so then how these changes should be
interpreted. The next research area is the analysis of relations between
purchasing prices of agricultural products and corresponding retail prices of
selected foodstuffs. The main reference point for the analysis here is the
guiding thesis of price reforms realized since the early eighties, which propagates
a slogan of economizing the pricing system through decreasing and
ultimately liquidating subsidies to prices of foodstuffs. Finally, the third
dimension encompasses the analysis of retail prices in the network of socialized
trade and free-market prices to be found in open-market trade. The fact
that free-market prices reflect the real conditions of production and realization
of food products allows to treat them as a peculiar criterion in evaluation
of the quality of official regulations with regard to retail prices.
