Abstract: Currently, the agricultural sector of the economy is characterized by a multi-structure. It includes subjects of various organizational and legal forms that have their own specific features of economic activity and level of development. An integrated classification of all subjects of agricultural production is presented in statistical estimates, which divides the entire population into three categories: agricultural organizations, peasant farms, and population farms. As shown by numerous scientific studies, each of the presented categories is endowed with historically and organizationally formed functional properties of economic, social and environmental characters. A General criteria - based assessment of the effectiveness of their activities will allow us to assess changes in the forms of ownership and management in the agricultural sector, the goals of their owners, specialists and managers, adjust the directions of state support, and strengthen the justification of forecasts. In the course of the research, a system of methods of economic analysis was used, including generalization of scientific literature, expert and comparative assessments, and calculation of indices. In the article the author presents the evolution of the concept of "efficiency", the classification efficiency of economic activities, methods of evaluating the performance of industrial subjects, typology of agricultural producers in accordance with the Civil code of the Russian Federation. For a comprehensive study of the effectiveness of the functioning of organizational and legal forms of agricultural production, a system of indicators reflecting various aspects of their production and economic activities has been developed and methods for calculating the generalizing efficiency indicator based on the reduction of different quality indicators that characterize the use of separate factors of functioning to a single one are presented. For this purpose, the criteria of economic, social and environmental efficiency, features of their assessment for each category of farms, and methods for calculating the overall (integral) indicator are identified.
