Record results of land auctions: where is the most expensive land plot

On March 26, in the Prozorro system, 14 auctions were held, within the framework of which land plots in different regions of Ukraine were put up for auction. The total area of ​​​​the offered lots, located in Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv regions, amounted to 1,452.57 hectares. According to the results of the auctions, the state budget was replenished by 24.5 million hryvnias, including 4.9 million hryvnias of value added tax (VAT).

According to the press service of the Land Bank, the auctions aroused considerable interest among market participants - a total of 96 offers were submitted. The initial total sublease value of all the offered plots was 5.5 million hryvnias, but due to competition between the participants, it increased by 4.4 times. On average, one hectare of land was sold for 16,908 hryvnias, and the expected economic effect, taking into account 20% VAT, is estimated at 29.4 million hryvnias.

The biggest sensation of the auctions was a land plot located in the Dnipropetrovsk region. It had an area of ​​214.01 hectares and caused a stir among the bidders - 15 applicants competed for it at once. The initial cost of the lot increased fivefold, and the final price offered by the winner was 4.3 million hryvnias. Thus, the cost of one hectare of this plot reached 20,092 hryvnias, which became the highest figure of the day.

The sale of state-owned land through open auctions allows not only to ensure the effective use of the country's agricultural potential, but also to attract additional funds to the budget. Thanks to transparent bidding, the state receives significantly higher revenues than in the case of traditional leases at fixed rates.

It is especially important that the funds received from the lease of land are directed to support the state budget. A significant part of them goes to finance the security and defense sector of Ukraine, which is of critical importance in the conditions of martial law.

Thus, land auctions not only contribute to the development of the agricultural sector, but also help the country ensure financial stability and strengthen its defense capabilities. An open and competitive approach to the sale of state assets confirms its effectiveness, allowing Ukraine to maximize the use of its resources in the interests of society.
