Abstract: The paper analyses the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy on the agrarian structure and farm incomes. The analysis used information provided by the Farm Structure Surveys from 2006 to 2016, information from the Agency for Payments in Agriculture (APIA) and by the Eurostat databases. The obtained results reveal the farmland consolidation in the period 2005–2016, together with the decrease of the number and areas of small farms. At the same time, changes were produced in farm production, in the sense of livestock sector diminution, decrease of crop production diversity and increased importance of the grain and oilseed sector. The farm incomes significantly increased in the post-accession period, mainly due to subsidies in the form of payments per hectare.
