Cost of land in Ukraine has risen by 8.2% over month

The prices of sale and purchase of agricultural land in May 2024 significantly increased compared to the previous months and are now the highest for the entire existence of the land market: the weighted average price per hectare in May was 45.0 thousand UAH, which is 8.2% higher than in April 2024, and 5.6% higher than in March this year, according to a study by the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), which is conducted on behalf of the USAID program.

According to analysts, the price of land with the intended purpose “for commercial agricultural production” was even higher and reached UAH 46.2 thousand.

“The above prices are based on the official prices registered in the Register of Property Rights during sale and purchase transactions. Market prices for land can be much higher, because most of all transactions are concluded at a price that does not differ from the normative-monetary valuation (the minimum price established by law for former sub-moratorial lands) by more than 2%,” the KSE clarified.

At the same time, experts believe that a slight decrease in prices in April 2024 and an increase in the cost of agricultural land in May this year is unlikely to be a long-term trend.

Since the beginning of 2024, average land prices remain significantly higher than in previous periods. Consequently, it can be stated that the opening of the land market for legal entities in January 2024 has led to structural changes in the market conditions, and as a consequence has led to an increase in the value of agricultural land, according to the KSE study “Land of Indestructibility”.
