Article Abstract:

Much of Poland's industry has not been privatized, and the industrial base of the country is weakening. State-owned enterprises account for over 40% of manufacturing employment, some 33% of industrial sales, and 5% of profits, and do not have the resources to invest.

There are particular problems in agribusiness, where plant is often antiquated.
