Polish agricultural land values and usage trends

Overview

Data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS) indicates a continuous rise in average agricultural land prices across Poland. Recent figures for the first half of 2026 show the national average for good arable land at 86,142 PLN per hectare. Significant regional disparities exist: Wielkopolska reports the highest prices at 126,643 PLN per hectare, followed by Podlaskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie, while West Pomerania records the lowest at 56,300 PLN per hectare.

Regarding farm profitability, GUS reported an average income per conversion hectare of 5,479 PLN for 2025 after depreciation. However, the National Council of Agricultural Chambers (KRIR) is challenging this figure, arguing that the methodology relies on outdated 2001 regulations that fail to account for modern costs for machinery and equipment. A government-appointed team, including the Ministry of Agriculture and GUS, is reviewing potential changes to income determination methods.

In the Kujawsko-Pomorskie region, allotment gardeners (ROD) face rising land use costs due to new perpetual usufruct fees on State Treasury land. In areas such as Włocławek, Toruń, and Chełmża, annual costs for a single user could rise by as much as 1,200 PLN, though the Toruń District Starosty estimates an average increase of approximately 200 PLN. While the Polish Allotment Garden Association (PZD) does not oppose the fees, they argue a proposed 3 percent rate is excessive and have suggested a reduction to 0.1 percent. Gardeners expressed concerns that these costs may disproportionately affect retirees, potentially forcing them to abandon their plots.
