Most farms are located in Romania, Italy and Poland on the other hand, at least in Luxembourg, Malta and Estonia. The largest farms in the EU-28 are in Slovakia (119.3 hectares) in the Czech Republic (134.6). On the other hand, the smallest farms are in Malta (1.2ha), Cyprus (4.9ha), Greece (5.6ha), Slovenia (7.5ha) and Italy (9.0 hectares). Romania (11.0ha) and Poland (12.3ha). The aim of the paper is to analyse position of young farmers in the European Union countries. In the average of the 28 member states of the Union, more than half (55%) of the private farmers is over 55 years old. This rate is prominently high in Portugal (73,4%), not much lesser in Bulgaria (70,3%), Italy (68%) and Romania (67,5%). Meanwhile the age consistence of farmers in Austria and Germany is good, where less than quarter of the farmers belong to the mentioned age class.
