Abstract: The transformation of economic relations in the agrarian sector of the national economy demonstrates the conceptual changes in the legal framework for land tenure and, on this basis, the rapid development of private entrepreneurial initiative in the form of peasant farms and individual entrepreneurs. In order to identify a promising leading link of agricultural producers, an assessment of the scale of presence, an analysis of the structure and depth of the processes of differentiation of these economic entities, their contribution to providing consumers with manufactured products is carried out, which reflects the relevance of the study. The use of methods of statistical grouping, analysis and synthesis allows you to achieve this goal. On the basis of the secondary grouping, three main groups of farms were identified: small, medium, large, and their potential were analyzed and problems were identified according to a number of criteria across the Russian Federation and federal districts. As a result, there is a steady tendency towards the enlargement of peasant farms in terms of the available land and sown area, which testifies to the strengthening of their position among other economic entities-agrarians, to the development on their basis of large-scale capitalist industries with high marketability and the use of hired labour. A promising vector and foundation for the development of the agricultural sector of the Russian Federation is becoming a layer of large farmers-producers of agricultural products.
