THESIS 1. Lands will be bought for small starting price
THESIS 2. Lands will be bought by foreigners
THESIS 3. Farmers would not be able to compete with agro holdings
The abolition of Moratorium and full liberalization of land markets would generate
~$15-40 billion of money mass in circulation.
Main risks currently associated with abolition of Moratorium are not grounded in
most cases

■
■
■
The absence of transparent
market for agricultural lands
in Ukraine leads to a variety
of problems, which can be
classified as those linked to
shadow schemes of
dispossession and acquisi-
tion of lands.
One of the consequences of
the untransparent market is
low rent price for land due to
the pressure from tenants
and the inability to exchange
or consolidate land plots
