In the contribution, some indices of the production factors efficiency are analyzed for cooperatives and business companies, both being the most wide-spread forms of farming in the Slovak agriculture. The indicators used show a higher fixed assets and labor efficiency in business companies, compared to cooperatives. However, a tendency of efficiency improvement can be followed also in cooperatives, and that on a higher growth rate than in business companies. The author concludes, that a higher efficiency is not an immanent characteristic of the latter, but the result of the conversion effect, where there occures the elimination of redundant labor and production assets.
