Ukraine’s agrarians oppose further reform of the land market.

Agrarians called on the parliament to postpone increased land sale limits starting January 1, 2024. The sale of land to big business should be suspended for the duration of the war and two years after its end.

Until January 1, 2024, only Ukrainian natural persons have the right to purchase agricultural land. The limit is no more than 100 hectares in “one hand.” Beginning in 2024, legal entities will also be allowed to buy land. From that moment on, another limitation will be placed on everyone – no more than 10,000 hectares.

According to the chairman of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council, Andrii Dykun, the average agribusiness is not against land reform and the presence of legal entities on the market, but agrarians are against increasing the limits for the sale of land “in the same hands” in wartime conditions.
