The authors identify and assess the processes of convergence of farm income in Poland after 2006. For this purpose, the values of σ-convergence of agricultural income per 1 household FADN of individual macro-region in Poland in 2006-2011 were estimated detailing the types of production. The conducted analyses do not allow the assessment of the convergence process in the case of farms specialized in field crops, horticultural production, livestock fed on grazing system and granivorous livestock. On the other hand, in the case of farms specialized in permanent crops, dairy farms, multidirectional farms interregional divergence of agricultural income can be identified
