Economic and legal aspects of land turnover in Poland compared to the European marketThis paper discusses the regulation of agricultural land market in Poland compared to the European market in view of the increasing prices of land in Europe. It presents the causes of the increasing prices of land in Europe, including Poland, and certain historical considerations which affect the current relevancy of land in Poland and the reluctance to sell it to foreigners. The author believes that the history of agricultural land market regulation in Poland after 1989 can be divided into three per­iods. The first period starts with the beginnings of the economic transition and liberal, unhampered land turnover. The second dates back to 2003, when new regulations introduced certain restrictions in land turnover and land ownership. The third period is dated from the entry into force the Law of 14 April 2016, which is characterised by strict state intervention on the agricultural land market. It follows the trend of retreating from liberalization, which has recently been more intensified in Cen­tral and Eastern Europe. The article lists economic and legal factors, which restrict the functioning of agricultural land markets in Poland, and compares these regulations to selected other European countries.

The land market in Ukraine is currently being formed. Therefore, it is now especially important to master the experience of using the mechanisms of regulation of this important market, which have undergone a long and successful testing in foreign countries. The article reveals the main directions of international experience in regulating the market of agricultural land.To ensure the optimal distribution of land among users and for the efficient functioning of the land market in most countries of the world, land policy is structured in such a way that agricultural land is cultivated by those who are able to ensure its most productive use. The article analyzes the possibility of applying this experience in Ukraine on the basis of generalization of modern foreign practice. The agricultural land, in contrast to the land for industry, transport and other industries, is the main means of production. The article notes that the current model of state regulation of the land market can lead to the monopolization of such markets and the acquisition of agricultural land by large corporations. There are considered the opinions of various authors on this issue, and has defined the need to form the main aspects necessary for the efficient use of land resources.The example of individual countries shows that the lack of active state intervention in market turnover has led to the monopolization of agricultural land by large corporations. It is concluded that at the present stage of implementation of the policy that ensures the efficiency of land use in agriculture, the state should strengthen the functions of regulating land use processes. There were some specific proposals for improving the system of regulation of land relations in agriculture, which should play a progressive role in the further development of the state.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for comprehensive legislative, organizational and financial support of the market circulation of agricultural lands, as an important factor in the competitive development of the agricultural complex of Ukraine. Research methodology. In the process of research were used: general and special methods of scientific knowledge - in the system of land relations; logical method - to determine socio-economic trends; systematic approach, observation, specification, analogy - to determine the procedure for assessing and market value of land resources and areas for improvement of land legislation. Results of the research. It is proved that the development of land reform would not lead to the land market and attract investment in the country's economy. The buyers of the land would actually be the tenant farmers, who will never give the highest price. The necessity of revision of methods for determining estimates of normative value of land is substantiated, development of the legislative basis for the control over the vicarious lands. In the process, it has been established that the main buyer of the land is a power as the most powerful owner and manager. The country will try to force the state policy and legislate the base can easily be done with a land asset that will trim the majestic incomes to the budget, and by themselves, will save the skin of the bulk of Ukraine. For all, only the will of the people and the bazhanya of pratsyuvati to the land are needed. For the sake of the transfer of the State Land Bank, the regulation of land management in Ukraine, the development of the national infrastructure of geospatial data, and the unified methodology of the normative penny assessment of lands were transferred. Elements of scientific novelty. A systematic substantiation of the ways of further development of land reform in Ukraine has been obtained. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in the development of legislation on the land market, regulation of market turnover of agricultural land, deepening research, use in the educational process and in the practice of government agencies and agricultural enterprises.

The agricultural land market in Slovakia has noted an increased dynamics recently. Such situation was a result of entering big foreign investors, particularly car factories, which had bought agricultural land for construction purposes. It resulted in the raised prices of plots. Agricultural land prices sold for the further agricultural use are markedly lower from the national point of view than in the EU-15. Such prices are also the third lowest ones within the new member countries of the EU.

The article concentrates on the changes of ownership ongoing in Polish agriculture in the period 1989–2004. Since Polish agriculture was above all private in nature throughout the period of communism, the changes in question were actually more limited than in other Central and East European Countries (CEEC). Those that have taken place have first and foremost involved the privatisation of the old State Farms, whose assets were taken over by individually-owned farms or commercial-law companies, with the intermediation of the Treasury Agricultural Property Agency established for the purpose. A major element of the assets undergoing privatisation was agricultural land. The size of the ownership change has varied from region to region. In the West and North, where more than half of all farmland was in the State Farm hands to 1989, there was a marked increase in the share of land under private ownership. On the other hand, in Central and Eastern Poland, the changes were very limited, concerning only the transfer of land between private farms. Important reasons accounting for the limited activity on the market for land in this part of Poland include the agrarian overpopulation and the widespread treatment of land as a form of the "insurance policy" against job losses. The ownership changes have further encouraged polarisation where farm size structure is concerned. Farms increased in size in the regions where the large average area has long been a typical feature. In turn, the areas characterised by the excessive agrarian fragmentation have not seen any more major changes in the size structure over the recent period. A detailed analysis of the changes in ownership over the market economy period is preceded by a discussion of the history of land ownership in Polish agriculture, with a particular emphasis being placed on the Communist era. The legal and social bases conditioning ownership change are also discussed.

Research background: A traditional form of state intervention in agriculture comprised regulating the rights to ownership. One of the often discussed aspects of regulations refers to those binding for foreigners. Purpose of the article: The objective of the article was to analyse the position (of the European Economic and Social Committee and the Polish legislator) regarding the phenomenon of purchasing agricultural property by foreigners as well as the opinions of farmers on the consequences for the agricultural land market resulting from ending the transitional period in Poland for purchasing agricultural property by foreigners as on 1 May 2016. Methods: Direct studies were conducted in 2015 among 86 farmers in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Findings and Value added: The main reason for such a discussion conducted globally and in Europe is the phenomenon of excessive concentration and the use of land for non-agricultural purposes. Whereas, the European Economic and Social Committee indicates that in order to limit unfavourable practices in the EU member states, activities directed at preventing speculation, preserving local traditions and ensuring a proper usufruct of land should be permitted. The majority of farmers were afraid of the changes in the agricultural land market after the end of the transitional period in purchasing agricultural property by foreigners.  They emphasised the above by expressing opinions on regulations binding in the transitional period and their effectiveness. With regard to the provisions of the Act of 5 August 2015, farmers were afraid of an increase in prices of agricultural land and the capital advantage of foreigners.

The article is devoted to the study of changes in geodesy, land management, State land cadastre and urban planning. It is proved that changes in certain areas are related to changes in the main directions of land reform in Ukraine, namely the formation of territorial communities and the introduction of a full and open land market. The process of formation of communal property in Ukraine and formation of territorial communities are investigated. At the same time, a special type of documentation appears – a comprehensive plan of spatial development of territorial communities, which is both land management documentation and urban planning documentation at the local level and includes topographic and geodetic data. To determine the boundaries of the territory of the community, a new type of land management documentation was introduced – a land management project to establish the boundaries of the territory of the territorial community. It is established that the number and area of territorial communities are different and can differ dozens of times. It is determined that the issue of creating geospatial data infrastructure is becoming more and more developed in Ukraine, because it combines data from the State Geodetic Network, information from the State Land and Urban Cadastre, which provides additional amplification and data entry, development of documentation using its current data. The issue of land market regulation is considered. Its subjects and features of acquisition of the property right to land plots of agricultural purpose are defined. The maximum size of the total area of agricultural land plots is presented – no more than ten thousand hectares, but until January 1, 2024 for the citizens of Ukraine this value should not exceed 100 hectares. The tendency of changes in establishing the sale price of the land plot, namely in carrying out the normative monetary assessment is determined. It is proposed to create a single assessment procedure for all land plots, regardless of their purpose, but taking into account the boundaries of the territorial community. The average cost of agricultural land by regions of Ukraine is analyzed. It is determined that it is uneven and can differ by 2-2.5 times. It is established that the introduction of real-time electronic auctions for the purchase and sale of agricultural land of all forms of ownership allows to achieve openness and transparency of the land market, as well as attracting a wider range of potential buyers.

PurposeLiquidity is an important aspect of market efficiency. The purpose of this paper is threefold: first, this paper aims to discuss indicators that provide information about liquidity in agricultural land markets. Second, this paper aims to reflect on determinants of market liquidity and analyze the relationship with land prices. Third, this paper aims to conduct an empirical analysis for Germany that illustrates these concepts and allows hypothesis testing.Design/methodology/approachThis study reviews liquidity dimensions and measurement in financial markets and derives indicators applicable to farmland markets. In an empirical analysis, this study exhibits the spatial and temporal variability of land market liquidity in Lower Saxony, a German federal state with the highest agricultural production value. This study uses a rich dataset that includes 72,547 sale transactions of arable land between 1990 and 2018. The research focuses on volume-based (number of transactions, volume and turnover) and time-based (trading frequency and durations) measures. A panel vector autoregression and Granger causality tests are applied to investigate the relation between land turnover and land prices.FindingsThe paper confirms the thinness of farmland markets but also reveals regional and temporal heterogeneity of land market liquidity. This study finds that the relation between market liquidity and prices is ambiguous. This study concludes that a high demand from expanding farms absorbs supply shocks regardless of the current price level in agricultural land markets.Originality/valueEven though the relevance of agricultural land markets’ thinness is widely acknowledged in the literature, this paper is one of the first attempts to measure liquidity in agricultural land markets and to explain its relationship with land prices.

The expectations for a successful start of the market for the selling/buying of farmland were based on the significant fragmentation of land plots and the impractical distribution of ownership. Most of the owners are people living in larger towns, people who practice non-agricultural professions, or older people who do not want to and are not able to cultivate their land. The majority of the first two groups of owners are potential sellers. The third group of owners are people whose lives are closely connected with agriculture but either they do not own land or the size of the land they own makes its cultivation ineffective. It is logical to expect that the owners from this group will become the potential buyers of land. The expectations for the activation of the land market that will result in the restructuring and amalgamation of land ownership were not justified.
