The agricultural land market in Ukraine continues to show active development. Over four years after the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land was lifted, more than 500,000 purchase and sale agreements have been concluded, with the total amount of transactions reaching nearly 50 billion hryvnias. As a result, 977.2 thousand hectares of land plots have been sold.

Market Dynamics in 2026
In the first four months of 2026, the average cost of one hectare of agricultural land in Ukraine rose to 75.1 thousand hryvnias. This is 26% more than in the same period of the previous year. The largest price jump was recorded in January, when the average price per hectare reached 95.7 thousand hryvnias. This increase in value led to a reduction in the amount of land offered for sale: from January to April, 82.1 thousand hectares were sold, while in 2025 this figure was 92.9 thousand hectares.
Regional Prices and Market Activity
The cost of agricultural land significantly depends on the location of the region and its proximity to combat zones. The most expensive hectares are offered in the western and central regions. Specifically, the top five regions with the highest average price per hectare are:
- Ivano-Frankivsk region – 179.6 thousand UAH/ha;
- Kyiv region – 178.2 thousand UAH/ha;
- Lviv region – 153.4 thousand UAH/ha;
- Ternopil region – 120 thousand UAH/ha;
- Vinnytsia region – 93.4 thousand UAH/ha.
In contrast, in Donetsk, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa regions, the price per hectare is the lowest — ranging from 30.7 to 47.8 thousand hryvnias.
“According to analysts, the largest number of land sale agreements are concluded in the central and northern regions, with Vinnytsia being the leader since the beginning of 2026 (3,416 agreements). The top five most active regions also include Chernihiv (3,279), Sumy (3,261), Poltava (2,963), and Khmelnytskyi (2,905)”.
Additionally, in March, an interactive portal for agrarians began operating in Ukraine — bi.dar.gov.ua, which helps market participants obtain necessary information about land resources and transactions.
