Poland is the sixth largest country in Europe with the area of 312 700 square km. The area of agriculturally used land is about 16 million hectares (ha) in majority owned by private farmers. The number of holdings classified as farms amount to 2,3 million sized 8 ha of agricultural area per farm.
The agricultural land market in Poland is divided into two main segments:
- the private agricultural land market which includes all transactions (lease and sale) made among physical and legal private owners of agricultural land,
- the public (state – owned) agricultural land market which includes transactions made between the Agricultural Property Agency (Agencja Nieruchomości Rolnych ANR) and the potential buyers of agricultural land belonging to the State Treasury.
The ANR performs its activity in relation to:
- creation and development of the structure of family farms,
- creation of the conditions for rational use of the state-owned farmlands productive potential,
- restructuring and privatization of the state-owned farmlands used for agricultural purposes,
- turnover of the State Treasury property used for agricultural purposes
