At present in Poland there exist many registers of business activities on the food market (their number varying depending on the adopted criterion of classification). Therefore, it is obvious that many problems of both practical and theoretical nature may be encountered in this regulatory area. For the purposes of the article an analysis of regulations of the registers was carried out. Selected key legal problems of these regulations were discussed, including the following aspects: classification of registers of food market business activities; conceptual problems related to the functioning of registers of operators, business activities, and establishments; the way of formulating registration obligations and exemptions from them; sanctions related to registration obligations and the scope and availability of information collected in the registers. Finally, de lege ferenda comments were offered as to developing of a single, central, electronic register of (agro)food market business activities (Agro-Food Register).
