Abstract
The main aim of this article was to identify trends regarding income changes in
the period of 2004-2008 in Poland between the regions of FADN. In 2004-2008 we noticed
the processes of convergence in range of income situation of farms among the
FADN regions. It was noticed that the convergence of beta type and the sigma were in
place. This situation appears for general group of farms, as well as in farms with mixed
production. Although, exclusion of the subsidies would initiate the divergence processes.
This means that direct payments make up a kind of catalytic situation in range of levelling
incomes situation in farms among these regions. We could initially signal that instruments
of the CAP favour getting differences of incomes smaller in spatial range, what would indicate
some kind of strategy in the aims of the EU policy with reference to sustainable
growth in spatial range.
