On October 15, the President of Ukraine signed a decree “On Certain Measures to Accelerate Reforms in the Sphere of Land Relations”. Now more than 2 million hectares of agricultural land that were in state ownership will be transferred to the amalgamated territories.
Communities will be able to allocate funds from land use for their development. This step allows completing the decentralization reform in Ukraine, which is considered to be one of the most successful. Earlier this year Ukraine finally abolished the moratorium on the agricultural land sale – a big step towards the legalization of the agricultural sector.
