The households whose members are involved in working activity in private farms represent the broad category of the self-employed in agriculture. The study reveals differentiation of rural households in two types: consumer and commercial ones. This principle of classification of rural households is completed by their typology built on such criteria as volume of agricultural production and their sales income. The author traces correlation between the volume of production and its income, depending on the size of land owned by rural households, the type of family, rural occupational structure and the age groups of rural residents.
