Type: article
Abstract: Summary. Mechanisation costs of 30 family farms grouped according to the production ori-entation were presented. Three production orientations were selected: milk production, pig livestock production and plant production. It was found that plant farms incur the highest mechanisation costs amounting to 2916.0 PLN⋅ha-1AL. Whereas, the smallest milk farms in-cur costs amounting to (2330.1 PLN⋅ha-1 AL). Amortisation has the highest share in the ana-lysed costs. Within the group of farms which produced pig livestock, fractional efficiency ra-tio reached the highest value and amounted to 3.40. The lowest value of this ratio was obtained in the group of plant farms, where it reached 2.31. A strong positive correlation be-tween gross agricultural production and incurred mechanisation costs was reported. Key words: mechanisation costs, production orientation, family farms
