In 2025, Ukraine’s agricultural land market entered a phase of mature and predictable dynamics: land values are rising depending on the security situation.

Despite the full-scale war, the market remains functional and demonstrates consistent development. While the size of the land bank was a key factor in the initial stage of market opening, in 2025, the focus shifted to the quality of plots and their location.

From January to mid-December 2025, 115,600 land plots with a total area of over 340,000 hectares were alienated, of which:

• legal entities purchased 43,012 land plots with a total area of 128,212 hectares, with an average cost of UAH 74,323 per hectare;
• individuals purchased 72,597 land plots with a total area of 211,962 hectares, with an average cost of UAH 47,246 per hectare.

The highest land prices remain in the western and central regions, while in the frontline regions, the cost remains significantly lower.

The most expensive land is in the western regions:

• Ivano-Frankivsk – up to UAH 165,615/ha;
• Ternopil – up to UAH 126,068/ha;
• Lviv and Vinnytsia – over UAH 80,000 – 100,000/ha.

The lowest prices are in the frontline regions: Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia – UAH 35,000 – 38,000/ha.

Despite the military risks, in 2025, the agricultural land market retained its liquidity, demonstrated steady growth in value, and a well-established demand structure. In 2026, the key factors for its development will continue to be the security situation, regional specifics, and the investment attractiveness of land plots.
