The Law

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the violation of land ownership rights and the moratorium on the purchase and sale of land plots limit the development of the national economy in general and the land market in particular, contributing to the operation of shadow agribusiness. However, starting from 01.07.2021, all restrictions on the sale of agricultural land are lifted, and new opportunities and threats arise. The purpose of the study is to analyse the new legislation regulating the launch of an open land market in Ukraine. To obtain scientific results, the following methods are used: dialectical, comparison, analogies and comparisons, monographic, benchmarking, expert evaluation method, SWOT analysis, forecasting method, analysis and synthesis. In accordance with this, the current state of land in Ukraine and European countries is considered. The existing land market in Ukraine and the world is analysed. A historical retrospective inquiry of events related to the lifting of the land moratorium is carried out. The law that ensures the launch of an open land market is characterised. Significant additions are identified in the law between the first and second readings. The mechanism of regulating the launch of the Ukrainian open land market is clarified. This study considers the international experience of operation of the open-type land market and reflects competitive prices for 1 hectare of land in comparison with Ukraine. According to this, the positive impact of land reform in European countries is determined. The main factors of effectiveness of the open land market model in foreign countries are presented. The main opportunities and threats for an open land market in Ukraine are analysed. The findings of the study reflect both the positive and negative consequences of launching an open market in Ukraine, citing expert opinions of supporters and opponents of such a market transformation

The Impact

The activities of state regulation in the field of land use have formed a number of environmental, socio-economic problems based on individual, regional and national interests. This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue of the impact on sustainable agricultural land use, taking into account the new legislative challenges in lifting the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land resources. This study focuses on the implementation of sustainable development goals, including goal 15 – conservation of terrestrial ecosystems and operational task 15.3 – restoration of degraded lands and soils using innovative technologies. Systematization of research in the field of sustainable land use has revealed the need for additional analysis and search for new ways to reform the land use sector, taking into account institutional and legislative changes, as well as the formation of carbon-neutral model of national economy. The purpose of the article is to identify prospects and possible threats to the development of sustainable agricultural land use in an open land market. To achieve this goal, the tools of comparative analysis were used in the work. The object of research is the land fund of Ukraine. The study period is from 2015 to 2020. The sources of statistical information were the statistical databases of the statistical organization of the European Commission (Eurostat), the World Bank and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. The paper presents the mechanisms of influence on effective sustainable agricultural land use, taking into account the studied statistical information and today's realities. The conducted comparative analysis of the condition of agricultural lands and systematization of normative legal acts regulating the land use industry revealed a number of potentially possible problems. To prevent negative consequences in the field of land use, the authors propose a set of measures to stabilize the sustainable development of agricultural land use.

The processes that occur in various areas of the land market affect the quality of development of the national economic system. Issues of volume and conditions of purchase and sale of agricultural land, pricing and rent formation for industrial land use, environmental aspects of land use are extremely important given the feasibility and timeliness of land reform, which highlights the need for clear identification of existing problems and outline possible directions for development, land relations. The article analyzes the state of land use in Ukraine, profitability and profitability of agriculture. Instability, low investment attractiveness of the market, non-compliance with the norms of rational land use, land parceling, non-compliance with the criteria of environmental friendliness were noted. The negative consequences of the moratorium on land sales are the shadow use of land, a significant number of corruption schemes, land lordization, crop rotation violations. It was found that agricultural holdings, as beneficiaries of the current market model, use land quite efficiently, but the state remained excluded from the market. Lack of full circulation of land makes market pricing impossible, local monopolies appear on the rental market. The issue of creating a mortgage land bank for long-term lending secured by land remains unresolved. Among the problem areas are the improper functioning of the state land cadaster, gaps in land inventory and identification of market objects. Institutional regulation requires the determination of the boundaries of settlements, reserve lands and land massifs in the area, the definition of landowners and land users of land plots and their founders. The need for liberalization of market circulation is identified and its possible positive socio-economic consequences are outlined. Further scientific research is proposed to be aimed at solving the problem of developing a regulatory framework for the functioning of the internal land market, capable of providing equal rights and opportunities for all its participants.

The Impact

The article considers various global factors influencing rural development under the conditions of liberalization of the agricultural land market in Ukraine. The author assesses the impact of global processes and global capital on the development of national farms, income distribution, access to land resources, production processes and equitable development in this country. It is proved that globalization, leading to increased concentration of agri-food production and business and expanding the role of large transnationalized corporations, is primarily aimed at exploiting the country’s existing comparative advantages, rather than increasing them, and promotes, in many recipient countries, a model of double economy split in the technological and socio-economic dimensions into qualitatively heterogeneous sectors. The author concludes that although global factors of agricultural production may have a relatively positive impact in macroeconomic terms, the dominance of multinational (transnational) companies, large exporting companies and financially powerful sovereign welfare funds in the market may create risks and threats of crowding out Ukrainian farmers from the market and blocking the sustainable development of rural areas. At the same time, Ukraine's agricultural sector will be transformed into a raw-material link of global food production chains dominated by large transnationalized entities, and a kind of raw-material enclave of transnationalized production will be created within the Ukrainian economy. The article argues that in today's global economy, where cardinal transformations are taking place and uncertainty is growing, land will become an increasingly valuable asset, attractive not only to agricultural producers but also to land speculators and those who try to maintain the value of their assets under the conditions of growing global risks. Under such conditions, investment in land will not at all necessarily contribute to the development of agricultural production, because speculative capital in the face of widespread expectations of a long and significant upward trend in land prices will prevail over productive agricultural capital. In general, this might lead to a significant increase in the cost of agricultural production and food prices. The author proves that the liberalization of the land market leads to increased risks of transfer of the control over Ukraine’s land resources to foreigners (sovereign financial funds and major international corporations), given their dramatic advantage by available financial resources for land acquisition, compared to those possessed by Ukraine’s residents. The article substantiates a set of policy measures and national policy instruments necessary to minimize the risks associated with the introduction (in the context of globalization) of free purchase and sale of agricultural land, which comply with the regulation principles of the European Union.

The report analyses the impact of the main factors influencing the market price of land in Bulgaria for the period 2000-2018. As a result of the analysis, it is summarized that the change in the price of land is mainly associated with the change in the land rent paid in the country. The price of agricultural land in the country is significantly lower than in a number of European countries, but this is not the case for the land rent paid, which is close to the European average.

The article examines the purpose and criteria for completing land reform in Ukraine. Land reform in Ukraine as a system of land reform legislation in the country, along with positive results, led to the onset of a number of negative consequences, in particular, the excessive bureaucratization of land relations, land corruption, agroholdings agriculture, degradation of agricultural land. Therefore, without addressing the negative consequences of the land reform they will be after the cancellation of the land moratorium and the negative impact on the legal regulation of the land market. Therefore, the introduction of market circulation of agricultural land cannot be considered a criterion of completion of land reform in Ukraine. In fact, besides the cancellation of the land moratorium, which blocks the implementation of the land owners of such proprietary rights as the disposing of it to ensure the full potential of the right of private ownership of land should be improved and legal environment in which there will be implementation of the owners of his powers. To do this, it seems appropriate to continue to reform the land legislation, which would ensure the elimination of such disadvantages by overcoming derzhkomzviazku in the development of land legislation, deregulation of the legal regulation of land relations, the decentralization of power in the field of land resources management and strengthen the legal protection of soil fertility. The results of this land reform legislation needs to be fixed for the new codification. So domestic experience in the implementation of land reform and the General framework of land reform legislation give rise to the conclusion that its purpose and, therefore, the criterion to end is not only the introduction of agricultural land market and creation of favorable for both land owners and society legal environment of implementing powers in respect of possession, use and disposal of land. In our opinion, this understanding of the completion of the land reform in Ukraine and will symbolize the completion of the transition from administrative-planned methods of regulation of land relations on the principle of ”top – down”, which is dominated by the powers of bodies of state power, inherent in the constitutional state system of legal regulation of land relations, which is based on the priority of the rights and legitimate interests of individuals, the territorial communities and society, which must provide the state.

Agricultural land market is usually defined as the purchase of agricultural land. In the most of the European countries, the land rental transactions have received the dominant position in the land market. Therefore, the land rental transactions are included into the agricultural land market analysis. The decision processes of market subjects are often influenced by the law. On the one hand, there is the law regulating the value of  agricultural land from the various points of view. On the other hand, there are some statutes stipulating the rental legal rules. The objective of this paper is to analyse the influence of the law on the behaviour of  market subjects in the agricultural land market.

The paper is devoted to research of existing variants of land reform in Ukraine towards cancelling the moratorium on the sale-purchase of agricultural lands. The authors prove that the financial function of the land is realized insufficiently, which is connected with the absence of open land market and ineffective functioning of state land regulation financial mechanism. The aim of the paper is to substantiate the directions of state land regulation in Ukraine on the basis of evaluating the economic effect of cancelling the moratorium on the sale-purchase of agricultural lands. The authors analyzed three most likely variants of land reform at the current stage of Ukraine’s economy development, and calculated economic effect from its implementation. Based on the calculations, conclusion is made about the feasibility of gradually cancelling the moratorium, which corresponds to third variant under study, which is offered to be implemented in two stages: 1) sale of state and community lands; 2) sale of private lands. Economic effect of implementing such a variant, calculated by the authors, gives a possibility to create additional annual cash flow to local budgets in the amount of 68-83 %, which is more than the revenue of other variants described in the paper. It is proven that for possibility to put the variant offered into practice, it is necessary to observe some prerequisites (organizational, financial, legal and regulatory), valuation of which enabled to offer the directions to improve state land regulation, the realization of which would favor the full functioning of agricultural land market.

Land as a component of the country's natural resource potential is a unique object. The interests of all members of society are referred to it because land is a universal factor in social life. Analyzing the development of the agrarian sector of Ukraine, it should be noted that in recent years it has been characterized by increased use of available agricultural land, land degradation, and their complete loss. This is further evidence that the study and analysis of the environmental aspects of the functioning of the land market in Ukraine, and, at the same time, the issues of agricultural land use efficiency are of particular relevance today. Sustainable development of the land-resource sphere depends on a large extent of the processes that take place in the system of property relations. Therefore, the research of formation and implementation of mechanisms of development of land relations is of particular relevance. The necessity of soil fertility preservation programs development is foreseen on the basis of the conducted researches. This program will include removal degraded and unproductive lands from intensive cultivation, reduction of plowed land and introduction of economic stimulation system of rational use and protection of land. It is proposed to improve the current situation through the mechanism of public-private partnership. The article describes the main measures and methods of ecological and economic mechanism for encouraging land users. The key features of the new bill have been identified. The current state and efficiency of land use and the dynamics of capital and foreign direct investments in agriculture, forestry and fisheries are analyzed. The essence of ecological paradigm is considered as a guideline of ecological policy of the short-term perspective. The negative consequences of disturbance of the ratio between agricultural lands are outlined. Environmental factors of influence on the development of the agricultural land market are given.
