Abstract: This paper analyses differences and similarities between the NUTS 2 regions of the European Union in terms of natural conditions with the subsequent evaluation of differences in land use, size structure, enterprise focus and selected economic indicators. The paper is also focused on the evaluation of the position of regions of the Czech Republic. NUTS 2 EU regions were classified into four groups, where the first represented favorable conditions for agriculture, on the other side the other group with conditions unsuitable for intensive agriculture - mountainous areas and the last two groups represented a transition between them. Czech regions were found in all groups except mountainous areas. Based on the analysis can we say that between clusters were found significant differences in the structure of farms, size of the enterprises, business focus but differences were not found in the economic indicators.
