      abstract = {The article presents the importance of farm income, taking  the farm’s ability to develop into account. It has been  demonstrated that achieving farm income at a parity level  is insufficient to determine the farm’s ability to develop.  These requirements are also not met by labour income. What  informs about a farm’s development ability is the ratio of  farm income to conventional costs of own production  factors: labour, land and capital in the form of the  competitiveness index (Wk). Its value from 1 to 1.9 points  to a competitive capacity and when it reaches 2 and more,  it points to full competitiveness. Based on the data from  farms covered by FADN monitoring in 2017, it was found that  the farm area specialising in field crops and the  cultivation of cereals, oilseeds and protein crops for  seeds and being able to compete (to develop) was about 40  ha of utilised agricultural area (UAA), while in the case  of fully competitive farms it was 106 ha. The size of farms  specialising in vegetable and permanent (fruit-growing)  crops and able to compete was 7 and 13 ha of UAA,  respectively. The size of dairy farms able to compete was  about 25 ha of UAA and 21 cows, while the size of fully  competitive farms – 75 ha and 54 cows. The size of pig  farms able to compete was about 25 ha of UAA and 26 sows,  while the size of fully competitive farms – 40 ha of UAA  and 37 sows. The size of “mixed” farms able to compete was  39 ha of UAA and, on average, 4 cows and 7 sows, while the  size of fully competitive farms – 79 ha of UAA, 8 cows and  11 sows.},
