For this purpose, we established theoretical limits and evaluated approaches to understanding the size of the farms and its boundaries, decisive socioeconomic and political factors and processes influencing the forming of the size of the structure of agricultural holdings. Basic tendencies of the development of the size structure of the agricultural holdings in the EU member states are evaluated including the importance of the individual size segments and their share in the output of the industry.
