Subject and purpose of work: The aim of the study is to assess the regional differentiation of the
average level of farm income and to answer the question of whether during 2006-2014 there was a
tendency towards convergence in this area. Materials and methods: The spatial scope of research
included four FADN agricultural regions, whereas the time span covered the years 2006-2014. The
numerical data used for the analyses were sourced from standard FADN results. The assessment of
convergence was carried out using the coefficient of variation (sigma convergence) and the relative
index of changes in the regions compared to the country (beta convergence). Results: The conducted
research indicates the existence of regional disproportions in terms of average income level and average
labour profitability on farms. The highest average income was achieved throughout all the years covered
by research in the region of Pomerania and Masuria, and the lowest one in Lesser Poland and Carpathian
Foothills. The research demonstrates that during 2006-2014 there was no convergence in the average
level of income and average labour profitability of farms in the FADN regions. Conclusions: Convergence
is a long-term process, so the research should be treated as an initial examination of the regional
differentiation of the income situation of farms.
