This article aims to explore the relationship between productivity of farms in different locations,  of different size, with different production orientation and their subsidies. The share of agricultural subsidies on the agricultural revenue is 20% using the total sample of farms. When focusing on the size groups, this share is 19% in very large farms, 28% in the middle sized and 30% in small sized. Regarding the production orientation this share is 1.5 times higher in the medium and small farms (compared to the very large ones) in all the production orientations (field, milk, mixed, cattle breading). Taking the above-mentioned information into account, the paper gives some insights in the subsidies’ development in the relation with the Czech Republic agrarian structure and economic efficiency of farms.

Keywords: agricultural productivity, farms productivity size structure, production orientation, productivity differentiations factors
