Agriculture of Ukraine - land investing in Ukraine

Any investor would agree that buying fertile land is always a good investment since land is no longer produced on the planet. Ukrainian land is leased now under long term contracts. Some of the biggest private farms boast 49-years lease contracts of state-owned of "pai" agricultural lands. Privatization of land in Ukraine is a matter of the next few years...

Agricultural lands in Ukraine has always been among most wanted in the world. Ukraine boasts to have more than 30% of the world’s most fertile black soil.

Ukraine has joined WTO this year - a serious move towards wider international markets which has also opened the doors to even more genetically modified crops to be planted throughout Ukrainian farms at lower rates but much more serious long-term risks to the health of the Ukrainian fertile lands.

Investing in land in Ukraine is extremely interesting in the conditions of a growing demand for primary food products. But any land can only be productive if long-term sustainability plan is in place which is only possible when land can be owned and easily traded.
