Which companies in Ukraine own the largest amount of land
- The largest amount of land in Ukraine is owned by the agricultural firm “Svitanok”: more than 5 thousand hectares as of mid-March of this year. In second place is the Druzhkovskoe mine management: 3.3 thousand hectares. The trinity is closed by Zemletrade – 3 thousand hectares.
It is worth noting that “Zemlettrade” sold almost 160 hectares of its land in less than three months. However, the largest amount of land during this time was sold by the A.T.K. — 284 hectares.
Remember
The land market in Ukraine officially started on July 1, 2021. Until 2024, only individual citizens of Ukraine could buy agricultural land with a limit of 100 hectares. The law on the land market prohibits foreigners from buying land.
On January 1, 2024, the second stage of the land market started in Ukraine. Now legal entities have the right to purchase agricultural land. You can only buy private land plots with a total area of no more than 10 thousand hectares in one hand.
