Creation of Agricultural Land Market in Ukraine

Abstract

The article describes the main arguments of the land market based rent and sale. Completed SWOT analysis options for the land market. Argued the benefits of market-based land lease. The author presents his own interpretation of the ‘farm land market’ concept and determines the function and conditions of the effective market development in Ukraine. It has been established that the land market secures the implementation of the principle of the rational and efficient land use, contributes to receiving a maximum payoff from each unit of the area, forms the attitude to land as a specific value and promotes the conservation of lands and their fertility improvement. The paper considers some priority measures which are implemented through the land market. The author proves that the farm land purchase and sale market grew civilized, and it is necessary to introduce a controlled turnover of lands. This not only provides for the lifting of the moratorium on farm land sale but also the enactment of the legal base and development of the adequate infrastructure. The pattern of land value inclusion in the marketing environment with the purpose of attracting investment resources to the agrarian sector of the economy has been suggested.
