In the latter years various methods were described by F. Nilsson, Z. Kallas, J. Lankoski, G. L. Poe, G. Pruckner, A. Randall, T. Yrjola, V. Krumalova, however there is still no widely accepted agricultural public goods evaluation methodology. Mostly used methods for agricultural public goods valuation are contingent valuation method, choice experiments, travel costs method, hedonic price analysis and conjoint analysis. If agricultural externalities and public goods could be easily measurable, there would be possible to construct rational system of agricultural public goods provision. When agricultural public goods demand and supply conditions are unknown the problems rises estimating their value and importance, similarly provided public goods extent can’t be optimal with regard to society. Provision of society‘s desirable extent of agricultural goods firstly relates with goods production and consumption factors evaluation.
