Why Land Prices Are Rising
The State Geocadastre attributes the rise in demand to several factors: the growing role of the agro-industrial complex in the economy, the increase in agriculture’s share of GDP, and the use of land as an investment asset.
A separate catalyst was the authorization of legal entities to purchase land, which took effect on January 1, 2024. At the same time, the agency emphasizes that predictions of a mass sell-off of Ukrainian land have not materialized.
