Agricultural business is a rather risky industry. After all, profitability depends on many factors, not just the situation on the land lease and sale market. One of these risks is the lack of regulation of land relations. An open farmland market and effective tools for its operation will help resolve this issue.
The state owns more than 10.5 million hectares of land, of which approximately 8 million are agricultural land. Despite this impressive figure, only a small percentage is legally leased. After all, Ukraine has only just begun the process of creating a transparent land market.
The first step was the general decentralization of power. It was then that reserve land was transferred to united territorial communities. To date, such structures have received about 1.5 million hectares. Auctions were introduced to control the targeted use of the distributed land. This helped to increase transparency, and the market price of land became public knowledge. The owners were able to lease the land or develop it themselves, and the profits could be used to develop their property.
Cooperation through auctions was also popular with agricultural enterprises. After all, against the background of transparent transactions, information about the actual assets of many amalgamated territorial communities is not always available. Some officials and their assistants take advantage of this. They promote the corrupt mechanism by offering assistance in negotiating land allocations. Ordinary citizens are also interested in the land market. However, it is difficult to get information about available plots of land for private farming, as information about them is distributed in separate announcements.
It would seem that everything is simple. However, with the emergence of land lots, the first difficulties arose: the lack of an established market and even an understanding of who to offer land to and how to offer it. After all, all the plots differed in location, soil type, and purpose.
This prompted the creation of a specialized bulletin board. Now there is a single platform, zemi.com.ua, where anyone can post ads for the lease and sale of land with a focus on private farming.
Message board in advantages and facts
Transparency and up-to-dateness are the main principles of such specialized information platforms. It is also worth noting the following advantages of the bulletin board on zemi.com.ua:
- The largest database of land plots in Ukraine. There are already more than 2600 ads on the portal, and this figure is constantly growing. Most of them are state-owned land plots. However, the number of ads from private individuals is increasing daily. You can easily find both small plots of 1-5 hectares and large-scale land of 100+ hectares.
- Convenient search. Filter ads by type of transaction (purchase, sale, rent), location, area, and price. The price filter allows you to choose the most favorable offers for the selected area.
- Integration with the State Geocadastre. You get complete information about the land plot from official sources, including cadastral number, area, purpose, location, and ownership.
- User verification via mobile phone. Contact information is always up to date.
- Visualization of the plot on the map. This allows you to assess the location and terrain, analyze the landscape, or purchase land nearby.
- Convenience. Only private farms are placed on the specialized land sale platform. So you won’t waste your time looking through typical ads for the sale of household plots. We are sure you have already encountered this on standard bulletin boards.
The online resource zemi.com.ua helps businessmen who are already striving to expand their own land bank. Now, entrepreneurs can avoid wasting time waiting for a “good mood” from local authorities. It also significantly reduces the likelihood of contact with intermediaries. After all, it is the accessibility and structured nature of information on message boards that ensures transparency. Now, even beginners in this business can buy land without corruption. It is enough to have a desire to start your way in a fairly promising agricultural business.
The zemi.com.ua online team has a fairly extensive database of information. This allows us to successfully support land lease and sale transactions. Specialists will help you negotiate with the owners of the shares and form a land fund of the required volume to order. The investor’s wishes regarding the area and other parameters will be taken into account.
The relevance of the bulletin board for shareholders
Not only landowners will like the online resource. The zemi.com.ua platform will also be useful for share owners. The site is competitive, so there will be no problems with getting a fair rental price.
It is interesting to know that state auctions help to realize the right to lease a land plot or land at a higher price. Thus, on average, prices increase by 1.5-2.5 times the starting price set by the owner.
To place an advertisement on the specialized online platform zemi.com.ua, it is enough to specify the cadastral number of the object. Information from official sources will be automatically added to it. Don’t forget to include important information about nearby objects. These are water bodies, railroad tracks, roads, etc. To specify this information, you just need to tick the necessary parameters by choosing from the options offered.
Launching online sales is an important step. However, many share owners are afraid of running into fraudsters and losing their property. This is a widespread myth. Because of this and a low level of awareness, they lease their land plots to familiar and trusted farmers who operate nearby. However, in this way, the owners of the shares lose money, because the current market price for land is usually much higher. And the high numbers offered by strangers scare them away.
Thanks to online bulletin boards and auctions, there are many examples of land plots being sold at the most favorable price. For example, a 100-hectare plot of land was recently leased in Kherson region. The price during the auction increased by 80%. This is the main advantage of open auctions.
Important: to make it easier for land share owners to set the current price, the zemi.com.ua service will have a value indexer.
A single database of land will help save time on searches. Now you just need to visit the website and quickly check if there is anything new. Don’t want to take unnecessary steps? Then you should subscribe to the newsletter to receive information by email.
