Over half a million transactions and nearly 50 billion UAH—this is the state of the agricultural land market in Ukraine more than four years after the moratorium was lifted, according to the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography, and Cadastre. The average price per hectare of land in Ukraine currently stands at 75,100 UAH. The most expensive land is currently in Ivano-Frankivsk and Kyiv regions, while the most active land purchases this year are taking place in Vinnytsia and Chernihiv regions.
501,619 agricultural land purchase and sale transactions totaling 49.7 billion UAH have been concluded in Ukraine over the past four years since the opening of the land market. The total area of the plots covered by these transactions is 977,200 hectares.

Ukrainians concluded a record 131,300 transactions last year. This is 13% more than in 2024. At the same time, the total value of transactions jumped by 43%: from 12.5 billion UAH to 18 billion UAH. While in 2024 a hectare of land cost an average of 47,300 UAH, in 2025 it was already 61,800 UAH. Thus, land prices rose by nearly a third over the course of the year.
The land market continued to rise in price in 2026 as well. In just the first four months, Ukrainians concluded 39,797 transactions totaling 6.17 billion UAH. Although the number of transactions decreased by 5% compared to the same period last year, the cost of land continued to rise rapidly, reaching 75,100 UAH/ha. This is 26% more than a year earlier.
It is worth noting that while prices rose, the area of land sold decreased. While 92,900 hectares were sold in January–April 2025, this year the figure was 82,100 hectares.
January has so far been the most expensive month of 2026—at that time, the average price per hectare reached 95,700 UAH. Buyers were most active in March, when 12,276 deals were concluded.
Traditionally, prices vary significantly by region. The most expensive land is currently in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, where a hectare costs an average of 179,600 UAH. The price is nearly the same in Kyiv Oblast—178,200 UAH/ha. The top five most expensive regions also include Lviv Oblast (153,400 UAH/ha), Ternopil Oblast (120,000 UAH/ha), and Vinnytsia Oblast (93,400 UAH/ha).
In contrast, the lowest prices are found in the frontline and southern regions. In Donetsk Oblast, a hectare of land costs 30,700 UAH, in Kherson Oblast—38,500 UAH/ha, and in Mykolaiv Oblast—44,100 UAH/ha. The regions with the lowest land prices also include Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (46,500 UAH/ha) and Odesa Oblast (47,800 UAH/ha).
Land is being sold most actively in the central and northern regions of the country. Thus, the highest number of transactions since the beginning of the year was recorded in Vinnytsia Oblast—3,416. Next are Chernihiv (3,279), Sumy (3,261), Poltava (2,963), and Khmelnytskyi (2,905) regions.
