In the paper the Hicksian hypothesis postulating that technical change is directed first of all at saving of these production factors, the price of which increases faster than the prices of the other factors, is verified in case of French agriculture, 1980 - 1999. The analysis was performed basing on the two-level CES production function with the use of four main production factors: labour, fixed capital, working capital, and land. It was established that different patterns of technical change were induced by differences in the relative factor prices changes, so the generalized Hicksian hypothesis in French agriculture was confirmed. However, considering only the use of separate pairs of production factors with respect to their prices and to the biases of technical change, indicates areas in which the Hicks conjecture is not satisfied.
