“…The survey results from the villages show the actual direction of change. Similar to the results found by Zawisza et al [61], in the sample, there was a small group of farmers who developed farms, invested in machines, tractors and increased UAA, mainly through leasing. The interviews were also expanded to identify the factors determining the development and the factors contributing to the liquidation of small farms.…”

The agrarian structure in Poland is dominated by small farms; the large share of these is a result of historical consequences. The economy has pushed small farms toward economic efficiency, which in farming often translates into increasing the scale of production. The primary objective of this research was to present the directions of the changes in the number of small farms in Central and Eastern Poland and to indicate the factors determining their functioning and development. The research was based on a random sample selection from rural municipalities, villages and small farms. The researchers collected 19 completed surveys from municipal agricultural officers, 75 surveys from village mayors and 116 surveys from small and active farms. The data from the farm surveys was analysed using k-mean cluster analyses and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to distinguish farms into homogenous groups. Three types of farms were identified: “hobby”, “two-occupation” and “professional” farms. The research shows that in the municipalities of Central and Eastern Poland, the number of landowners (over 1 ha of arable land) paying agricultural tax increased by 9% between 2005 and 2017. A significant gap was identified between the number of “official farmers” and “active” farmers. In the farm category surveyed, “active” farmers numbered only 33% of all farming entities. The surveys confirmed that the development of small farms is particularly influenced by external factors (EU funding; national benefits), rather than internal (entrepreneurial) factors. An in-depth survey of farmers, municipal agricultural officers and village mayors shows that “professional” farmers (Cluster 0) are expected to invest, develop and innovate. Farmers managing “hobby” and “two-occupation” farms have a reserved attitude towards investment and their objective is to maximise the benefits related to the arming status. In the authors’ opinions, “professional” farms have the highest probability of being economically viable, while others tend to focus on the provision of public goods related to financial support.

“…In literature, this issue was reflected in numerous scientific publications (Rønningen et al, 2012;Douwe van der Ploeg et al, 2015;Van Broekhuizen et al, 2015;Abler, 2004;O'Cinneide and Cuddy, 1992;Hrabák and Konečný, 2018;Tohidyan Far and Rezaei-Moghaddam, 2019). The embedding of agricultural activity in a specific natural (Osti and Cicero, 2018;Pretty, 2002;Alampi Sottini et al, 2002;Daugstada et al, 2006;Dramstad et al, 2001;Zawisza et al, 2018), social and cultural environment means that farms can perform important educational functions (Blum, 1999;Forleo and Palmieri, 2019;Pace et al, 2014).…”

“…This requires a transition to prognostic forms of activity, not just a statement of facts (acquaintance with primary information), but a systematic approach to solving the problem in general based on a combination of intellectual abilities of staff of information and analytical units (management) with the functionality of modern information and telecommunications systems. The aim of this paper has been to determine Zawisza, Prus and Beben (2019) the prospects for the development of agricultural family farms. With that in mind, an important aspect has been to diagnose the opinions of the farmers on the key sources of income, benefiting from the CAP support, the recent investment projects completed, opinions on changes in the…”

The aim of the article is to study the information support of the institutional field and state regulation of agricultural development of Ukraine through the analysis of current strategies and tools and programs of state support. The relevance of the study is due to the significant increase in the role of state support for key sectors of the economy in a systemic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic COVID-19 and restrictive quarantine measures. Limitation of budget funds implies an urgent need for their most rational use, identifying trends and areas of which this study is devoted. The research methodology is based on comparative analysis, economic and mathematical modeling, methods of assessing the effectiveness of budget programs, the use of analytical surveys, statistics on self-assessment of agribusiness and data from independent news agencies on the effectiveness of government regulation. The information base is the regulatory framework for state support of the agricultural sector, analytical studies on budget support for the agricultural sector and budget expenditures for agricultural development were based on official data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine. The study analyses some components of the Strategy for the development of the agricultural sector of Ukraine, the Concept of development of farms and agricultural cooperation for 2018-2020, the project and the place of state support in its regulation. The dynamics of state support for 2016-2019 is shown, the main factors of influence are characterized and the dynamics of state support of the agricultural sector of Ukraine evaluated according to the OECD (Organization of economic cooperation and development) methodology is given. An analysis of the expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine in 2020 on agricultural and rural development is carried out. The given research can be used at formation of current programs of budgetary support of branch, development of concepts of sustainable development of separate forms of managing – farms and peasant farms, adjustment of strategic plans, formation of their key indicators for monitoring and for increase methodological bases and principles of state regulation and other institutional factors of agricultural finance.
