In 2025, Ukraine’s agricultural land market entered a more mature and predictable phase of development. Despite the full-scale war, the market remained functional, while land prices continued to rise—primarily depending on the security situation, land quality, and location, ProAgro Group reports.

The Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture noted that while land bank size was the key factor at the early stage of land reform, in 2025 buyers increasingly focused on the characteristics of specific plots and their regional investment appeal.

From January to mid-December 2025, a total of 115,600 land plots with an overall area exceeding 340,000 hectares were sold in Ukraine. Legal entities purchased about 43,000 plots covering 128,200 hectares at an average price of UAH 74,300 per hectare. Individuals acquired 72,600 plots with a total area of nearly 212,000 hectares, paying an average of UAH 47,200 per hectare.

The highest land prices were traditionally recorded in western and central regions. Ivano-Frankivsk region led the ranking with prices reaching up to UAH 165,600 per hectare, followed by Ternopil region (up to UAH 126,100 per hectare), as well as Lviv and Vinnytsia regions, where land prices exceeded UAH 80,000–100,000 per hectare. At the same time, frontline regions—Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia—remained the most affordable, with prices ranging from UAH 35,000 to 38,000 per hectare.

“Despite wartime risks, in 2025 the agricultural land market maintained liquidity, demonstrated steady price growth, and formed a structured demand. In 2026, security conditions, regional specifics, and investment attractiveness of land plots will continue to be the key drivers of market development,” said Deputy Minister Denys Bashlyk.

As previously reported, experts believe that in 2026 Ukraine’s agricultural land market is likely to enter a phase of moderate and predictable price growth without sharp fluctuations.
