In the paper an assessment of the general situation prevailing on the market of property insurance in agriculture in 2005-2008 has been made, with due attention for the latest legal regulations. Detailed analyses of the insurance of farmers against civil liability, of the insurance of farm buildings, crops and livestock have been conducted. The weak points of the present insurance system have been indicated, namely: the insufficient knowledge of farmers of the advantages offered by insurance policies, the state's hastily organized assistance to farmers in crisis situations and a small number of policy holders among farmers in the case of high-risk insurance.
