The cost of agricultural land in Ukraine varies significantly depending on the region. In some regions, the average price per hectare approaches 300 thousand hryvnias, while in others it does not exceed 50 thousand. Experts have published current land market indicators for the third quarter of 2026.
How much does a hectare of land cost in Ukraine
According to analysts, in September 2026, the average cost of one hectare of agricultural land was 125,600 hryvnias.
At the same time, the weighted average price, which takes into account the area of the sold plots, was significantly lower – 82,000 hryvnias per hectare.
The difference is explained by the specifics of the concluded agreements. In particular, the sale of small land plots at a high price can significantly affect the overall average.
In the third quarter of 2026, approximately 22.4 thousand agricultural land purchase and sale agreements were concluded in Ukraine. The total area of land sold was 43.7 thousand hectares.
Compared to the previous quarter, activity in the land market decreased:
The number of transactions decreased by 14%.
The total area of land sold decreased by 18%.
Where is the most expensive land in Ukraine
The highest average prices for agricultural plots were recorded in the western regions.
In particular, the leaders in land value were:
Ivano-Frankivsk region — 297,100 UAH per hectare.
Lviv region — 292,200 UAH per hectare.
Thus, owners of land shares in these regions can expect a significantly higher average market value than owners of plots in other parts of the country.
However, the actual price of a particular share depends on its characteristics, location and terms of sale.
In which regions is the land the cheapest
The lowest average cost of agricultural land was recorded in the following regions:
Donetsk region — 38,700 UAH per hectare.
Mykolaiv region — 47,500 UAH per hectare.
Kherson region — 48,300 UAH per hectare.
The difference between the highest and lowest regional indicators exceeds seven times.
This indicates a significant unevenness of prices on the Ukrainian land market.
How much can you get for selling an inherited share
For owners of land plots, in particular inherited ones, regional statistics can serve as a guide when evaluating property.
For example, if we use the average cost of a hectare in Ivano-Frankivsk region, the estimated price of a share will be:
2 hectares — 594,200 UAH.
3 hectares — 891,300 UAH.
5 hectares — 1,485,500 UAH.
For comparison, the average price of land in the Mykolaiv region:
2 hectares — 95,000 UAH.
3 hectares — 142,500 UAH.
5 hectares — 237,500 UAH.
At the same time, the amounts given are only calculated examples. They do not guarantee that a specific plot will be sold at this price.
What owners of land shares need to consider
When determining the cost of a land plot, it is important to consider not only the average indicators of the region, but also the features of the object itself.
In particular, the market price may be affected by the area and location of the land, its intended purpose, accessibility for cultivation and other characteristics.
Owners of inherited shares should also check the proper registration of ownership rights and information about the land plot in the State Land Cadastre.
Thus, even a small land share can represent a significant property value. However, before making a decision to sell, it is advisable to assess the real market value of a particular plot, and not focus solely on average prices in the region.
