Agribusiness, as the whole national economy, goes through a difficult period resulting from economical changes in the political system which were carried out with the view to adapting to the European system of functioning based on market rights. In the process of transformation, farms are in the trouble in the difficult economical situation. An individual farm producer isn't able to function in new realities, especially on the problematic areas, like the Silesia province. That's why advisory service, which is the closest to village's inhabitants should fulfil an important function on these areas. The advisory service, simultaneously, possesses a significant authority in rural environment, and should promote the process of horizontal integration among farmers. It's necessary to educate leaders being able to show the farmers advantages of group forms of investements, especially on the problematic areas.
