The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the changes in Estonian agricultural
producers according to the size of the land use. Data from the Estonian Agricultural Registers
and Information Board (ARIB) data from 2011 and 2016 is used. This data shows that agricultural
land use area per producer has increased and most of the agricultural land is used by agricultural
producers in size groups 400–< 1,000 ha and > 1,000 ha. This means that a small number of
agricultural producers are using a large area of agricultural land. For example, in 2016, the largest
agricultural producer was using 27% of agricultural land located in Türi municipality. The
outcome of the study shows a trend of farm size growth in Estonia; there is a need to find out if
this model of agricultural production guarantees us food and a future of sustainability.
