On the basis of the act of 14 December 1995 on agricultural chambers, members of the agricultural self-government are private and legal persons who are agricultural tax payers, individual income tax payers from special branches of the agricultural production and members of the collective farms owing land in these cooperatives. Organizational units of the agricultural self-government are agricultural chambers, which have a legal status. The Chambers act on the territories of their voivodships.
