In 2026, Ukraine’s agricultural land market is expected to enter a phase of moderate and predictable price growth, avoiding sharp fluctuations, according to ProAgro Group.
According to Ihor Lisetskyi, Coordinator of the Land Committee at the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club (UCAB), the market has already overcome the shock of the first years of the full-scale war and moved into a stage of systematic value accumulation. This suggests that instead of stagnation or correction, prices are likely to rise gradually, bringing Ukraine closer to Eastern European land price levels over time.
The main driver of growth will remain steady demand from agricultural producers and investors. The purchase of leased land is increasingly viewed as a long-term investment tool, while farmers’ financial capacity is supported by restored maritime logistics and favorable global food market conditions.
“However, price geography will remain uneven, as security considerations will continue to act as the key filter for investment attractiveness,” Lisetskyi noted.
As a result, competition for land is expected to intensify in western and central regions, while land markets in frontline areas of eastern and southern Ukraine may remain sluggish, with limited or no transaction activity.
