| Title : | CONDITIONS UNDERLYING THE INSTITUTION OF FARMLAND LEASE IN POLAND IN 1992-2012 |
| Abstract : | The aim of the article has been to identify and evaluate main factors which influence the land-lease market in Poland. Statistical data from two institutions, namely the Agricultural Property Agency (APA) and the Central Statistical Office, as well as the author’s own research have been used. The time horizon of the analysis covered 1992-2012. At the beginning of the system transformation in Poland, the APA faced a low demand for land acquisition. Formally, the domestic land lease market in Poland mostly consists of the Stock of the State Treasury because land leases between neighbour farmers typically involve small acreage and the vast majority of land-lease contracts on the private market are informal. In line with the current policy governing the management of farmland in Poland, sale is a preferred solution to lease, as a result of which the number of new land-lease contracts is relatively small, for example in 2012 they covered in total about 11.6 thousand ha. The total number of binding land-lease contracts was 68.9 thousand, which covered 1.3 million ha of farmland from the Stock of the State Treasure (about 28%). The growing interest in leasing land on the private market can be associated with both a small supply of land offered for sale and the fact that the land lots offered for lease by the ANR are fewer less attractive than previously. |
