The World Bank estimates that a functioning land market would double land prices, would draw $1.5 billion in new investment annually into agriculture, and would increase Ukraine’s GDP growth up to two percentage points a year. Two thirds of Ukraine’s 41 million hectares of farm land is in private hands. Rents are a fraction of neighboring Poland.
