“The shadow circulation of the earth, connected by a moratorium, does not allow the country to develop. Its volume so far reaches 10 billion hryvnia! Land is leased for 49 years under emphyteusis contracts. Over the past two years, 460 thousand hectares of land have been leased under such conditions, ”the minister wrote on Facebook.

Earlier, the European Union expressed its support for land reform in Ukraine, within the framework of which the country will open the agricultural land market. The World Bank also supported this idea.

According to the press secretary of President of Ukraine Yulia Mendel, foreigners are better at managing Ukrainian land than Ukrainians themselves.

In October, the sociological group "Rating" published a poll that showed that 73% of Ukrainians are against lifting a moratorium on land sales.
