Summary/Abstract: Modernisation of agricultural areas is one of the tasks aiming at the development of rural areas. This process is realised by various institutions, both governmental and self-governmental. The study is an analysis of the activities of Agricultural Property Agency conducted in order to improve the size structure of individual farms. The size of farms may be increased by purchase or lease of land. The resources of APA constitute a “bank” of agricultural land that may be leased to farmers who guarantee development and proper management of land. Ca. 70% of the agricultural land managed by APA is leased. However, the area leased by individual farmers is significantly smaller and more dispersed (average area leased by farmers from Cieszków commune is 4.58 ha).
