After 2004, agriculture and rural areas of Lower Silesian voivodeship were covered by financial support instruments within the frames of CAP. Direct payments played the basic significance, subsequently, the activity of RDP 2007-2013 and RDP 2004-2006, as well as SOP “Agriculture 2004-2006”. In the work there was applied the method of comparative analysis, taking into account spatial distribution of CAP instruments implementation in the districts and subregions. The most considerable support in Lower Silesian voivodeship was obtained by subregion of intensive agriculture, especially the inhabitants of rural areas of Wrocław district. Absorption of support means connected with particular sectors of the EU programs consolidates the leading functions of each subregion of Lower Silesia region, which result from environmental, economic and location conditions. The issue of concern has become significant diversity of financial support level counted per 1 ha of arable land and per one farm. In subregions and districts the support level is very low, it is especially important to combine the instruments of common agricultural policy and cohesion policy.
