The results were obtained through a questionnaire interview including 28 questions, which was carried out from March to May 2016 among 200 farmers. It was showed that among the motives for using advisory institutions, respondents indicated a willingness to obtain EU financial support (31.5%) and to complete forms for this support (28.0%), to increase the level of skills and knowledge (16.0%) and to acquire new markets (9.0%).

For women, they were primarily the cost of services (25.0%), friends’ reviews (23.7%), and their own experience (22.4%), whereas the reputation of the advisory center (9.9%) was the least important. Men largely trusted in their own experience (31.4%) and appreciated the comprehensiveness of advisory services (21.6%). The costs of services (12.7%) and market reputation (15.7%) were significantly less important for them.
