The main aim of the article is to analyze differences in agriculture performance across the European Union countries during 2010-2013. Special attention was devoted to the results achieved by New Member States. The research was conducted with application of multiple criteria analysis tools: the method proposed by Hellwig and also Ward's clustering method. The research was based on the analysis of the World Bank development indicators. It confirms the existence of significant disparity in the performance of agricultural sectors between the old and new member states of the EU. (original abstract)
