There is an extensive literature on the optimality of farms and agricultural institutions, which received renewed attention with the reforms and restructuring processes in transition countries. In this chapter I argue, first, that the farm structures that have emerged from the transition process are much more diverse than expected ex ante. Second, I argue that this diversity importantly reflects initial conditions and external constraints, but also policy differences. Third, I argue that these differences are not necessarily a transitional (temporary) phenomenon, but are likely to have long-lasting impacts on the agricultural structures, among others because institutional innovations are emerging to address the constraints and opportunities posed by the current structures, and are as such ‘locking-in’ the existing structures in a long-run institutional framework.
