The results are the outcome of inference verified empirically by the experience of Polish agriculture between 1970 - 1987. The results of the analysis confirmed a decrease in the role of service units, especially farmers cooperative groups, in creating production potential of individual farms. The main reason for the above is the existence in that period of a traditional pattern of activity of those units, the pattern originating from the administrative system of management. The increase in technological and economic maturity of private farms, the transiormation of socialized service units into independent enterprises and the progress in demonopolization of service market are the determinants of changes in the system of managing the sphere of production services for agriculture, Those changes should go in the direction of modifying the model of activity of those units in favour of pre-, post-production and specialists agricultural services on the one hand, and in creating service units which would be differentiated with respect to their types of ownership and their organizational structures on the other. The choice between various organizational forms of services to be implemented at a given time and place should depend on economic considerations onlypolinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
