Abstract

The paper studies the distribution of peasant (farm) households by income according to the departmental reporting form 1-peasant (farm) household “Information on the production activities of heads of peasant (farm) households — individual entrepreneurs.” The study revealed the presence of a strong differentiation of peasant (farm) households by income, which indicates the need to use the grouping before summarizing the data for the population. It is proved that the distribution of peasant (farm) households by income are close to a lognormal distribution. Based on the allocation of groups with equal intervals according to the logarithms of income, analytical groupings can be built that allow researching the relationship between the features that characterize peasant (farm) households. Thus, the patterns of an increase in the resources of agricultural production and its efficiency were revealed as incomes grew per 1 peasant (farm) household; the differences between the initial and final analytical groups are statistically significant. The intervals of the selected analytical groups by region are of a similar nature, which may indicate the possibility of their consolidation and the establishment of uniform boundaries for typical income groups, as is done in countries with developed agriculture (the USA, the EU).
