“…This is derived from the fact that, provided that the economic structure of agriculture in these countries is similar, they are likely to converge. Nevertheless, this similarity might be apparent between some countries only and the so called sub-clubs (King, 2016b;King, 2016a) or the hub-and-spoke principle might be created (Chong and Hur, 2008;Hur et al, 2010;Kirkow, 1999). The aim of the paper is to analyse the similarities of the agricultural between postSoviet countries and to find the relation between agriculture index and GDP per capita for these countries.…”

Eurasia represents an important economic region for the majority of the post-Soviet republics. The structure of their economies is highly dissimilar and reflects the status of agriculture. The aim of the paper is to analyse the relation between agriculture index and GDP per capita Using the basic economic indicators in agriculture (contribution of agriculture to GDP, share of employment in agriculture, agriculture value added per worker and share of rural population) as well as the cluster analysis, the countries were divided into four groups. There are sub-groups within the post-Soviet republics, differing considerably in the status of agriculture in their national economy. A negative correlation between GDP per capita (PPP) and the level of the agriculture index has been proved in the monitored countries.
