Summary/Abstract: Changes that accompanied the transformation process in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe had a specially strong impact on the agricultural sector. In the general opinion of farmers these changes were largely discordant with expectations formulated vis-a-vis the farmers. This article represents an attempt at analysing the causes of this incongruousness. The article also presents examples of institutional solutions prepared in reaction to such state of affairs and it identifies the factors that were decisive for the pace and scope of the solutions' preparation.
