New trends in development of agricultural land market in Russia
Sagaydak, Alexander & Anna Lukyanchikova
Development of Agricultural Land Market is unique in Russia as compared to other countries. The super goal of modern Russian Agrarian and Land Reform is to create the conditions and incentives to provide sustainable development of agricultural production and to solve the country's food problem. In 2001, the Land Code based on market economy principles was adopted by the Russian Parliament. The Agricultural Land Market Act was introduced in February 2003. On March 1, 2009 the State Real Estate Cadastre was introduced. The Agricultural Land Market Act as well some other land acts was amended on December 29, 2010 by the special federal law #435. The right and the order of compulsory withdrawal of the agricultural land plots were settled. According to the Law itts possible through court in a case when the land isn't used 3 years and more, and also at essential decrease in fertility or considerable deterioration of ecological conditions. Signs of non-use and criteria of decrease in fertility (ecology deterioration) will be defined by the Government of the Russian Federation. Legal responsibility for non-use of the agricultural land plots is strengthened. A number of amendments is directed on perfection of a turn of the land shares received at privatization of agricultural lands. So, the transfer order (without tendering) of municipal agricultural land plots to the property or rent to the agricultural organizations and farmers, their using is simplified.
