Funkcjonowanie rynku ziemi rolnej w Polsce – nieprawidłowości w obrocie ziemią

In Poland, trade in land takes place on the private market, and it also is related to state land owned by the Agricultural Property Agency (ANR). The area of state land, due to the growing sales over the last years, has been diminishing so it should be expected that in several years the private market will be the main market for agricultural land trade. The price of land in Poland has been increasing continuously since 2004, also as a result of foreign investors’ demand. Despite the transition period in which there are limitations on the purchase of land by foreigners, there have been irregularities found with regard to land trade and eliminating Polish farmers from bids of the Agricultural Property Agency. Hence the regulations adopted at the beginning of 2013, related to land sales and lease, seem to be of vital importance.
