Abstract

This article analyzes the multifaceted nature of nonagricultural business activities engaged into by farmers in the Olecko district, based on a survey with 240 farm owners running a non-agricultural economic activity. Carried out in 2Q 2016, this study revealed a correlation between the number of businesses and the farm size. Small and medium farmers are more willing to engage into non-agricultural activities. The largest group of respondents (67%) were traders. The analysis found that the ability to leverage the farm’s endogenous business potential is primarily inhibited by legal over-regulation and bureaucracy in economic procedures (68.75%).
