Imperfection of land system in agriculture, possible consequences and the ways to correct them

Abstract

Significant transformations occurred during the land reform by January 1999. The monopoly of state ownership over land was abolished, and reorganizations of collective and state farms were carried out, alongside the privatization of land. Since 2002, the turnover of agricultural land has been regulated by Federal Law No. 101-FZ of July 24, 2002, "On the Turnover of Agricultural Land." Ownership, use, and disposal of land plots that are in shared ownership can only be carried out in accordance with the decisions of the participants in the shared ownership. However, the procedure for allocating land plots against the shares of land is lengthy, costly, and prone to corruption. Imperfect land legislation and incompetence in the courts hinder the completion of land transformations. This article discusses the issues of shared land ownership related to multi-contour land plots and methods to overcome these challenges.
