Based on the sample data on 140 family farms factor analysis of production conditions and results was made. It was applied the method of major factors with reduced correlation matrices in which the elements on the main diagonal were replaced by grades of communality. Starting from eight indicators of production conditions three communal factors were discriminated: area factor, animal supply and agricultural machinery equipment factor, and construction equipment factor. These three factors account for 90 variations of production conditions. Also, three communal factors were discriminated for the 11 indicators of production results: crop and animal production factor, fruit and viticulture production factor, and cost-effectiveness of agricultural production factor. Three communal factors explain by over 90 variations in production results.
