Abstract

The article considers the first consequences of opening the market of agricultural lands in Ukraine. And also to what extent the political situation in Ukraine affects the success of land reform. Despite the fact that Ukrainian land reforms are still ongoing, on July 1, 2021, an important milestone was reached: the partial launch of the market for the sale of agricultural land for individuals. The reform process was complex and involved an active public debate between various stakeholders on market mechanisms and forecasts. The basic principles of functioning and development of the market of agricultural land in Ukraine are determined. The intermediate stages of land reform, which became the impetus for the introduction of the land market, have been identified. The current information of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food on the land market in Ukraine as of 31.12.2021 is presented. The main problems faced by small and medium-sized farmers in bidding with large agricultural producers have been identified. If the state does not support small and medium farmers, we can assume that the open market of agricultural land in our country was premature. Due to the lack of a transparent and evidence-based policy on this important topic, this discussion was prompted by several fundamental societal fears about the consequences of launching a market. As a result, after the launch of the market for the sale of land, it is necessary to assess whether public concerns have any basis in the current development of the market.
