Land Plot

The Law on the Opening of the Land Market, which entered into force in July 2021, granted Ukrainian citizens the right to purchase and sell agricultural land plots. As of January 1, 2024, this right has also been extended to legal entities registered in Ukraine. Given that the practice of conducting transactions in this sector remains insufficiently developed, real estate transactions currently involve numerous risks.

LARGOS Real Estate Agency offers comprehensive support for land purchase and sale transactions, including services related to property selection, legal due diligence, and the execution of agreements.
If you do not find a suitable option among the available listings, you are invited to submit a request through our online form. We will assist you in identifying a property that best meets your specific requirements and long-term objectives.

What is classified as agricultural land in Ukraine?

Individuals and entrepreneurs seeking to purchase agricultural land in Ukraine typically refer to a field or a specific land plot. However, according to Article 22 of the current Land Code of Ukraine, this category includes:

Agricultural lands — arable land, pastures, territories with perennial plantations, and hayfields;

Non-agricultural lands — forests, lands occupied by buildings, trading sites, storage facilities for agricultural products, production infrastructure, and more.

Agricultural land may include not only individual plots but also large tracts spanning thousands of hectares, lands with orchards or ponds. The land market offers both uncultivated and cultivated plots, fields with growing crops, and even land with harvest-ready produce.

Citizens selling agricultural land often acquired their property through privatization, inheritance, donation, purchase, or exchange. Starting from 2024, legal entities are also permitted to engage in the purchase and sale of agricultural land.

Agricultural land in Ukraine may be purchased for purposes such as horticulture, vegetable farming, running a farm enterprise, personal or subsidiary farming, as well as for commercial agricultural production.
An individual may own up to 100 hectares, while a legal entity may hold up to 10,000 hectares.
