Abstract

Agricultural land reform in Ukraine was a complex process, characterized by changes to the whole system of doing agriculture, based on private ownership over collectivization, and private farms and agricultural enterprises over kolkhozes and sovkhozes.

    This paper aimed to clarify the process of agricultural land reform in Ukraine by classifying the three-stage evolution of the reform, and discussingcreation mode of farms. Extensive review of Laws, Decrees, Land Codes, and past studies on land reform in Ukraine were used as a background to evaluate realities of land reform process in Ukraine.

    In the following space, we divide the whole process into three stages: the implementation period (1991-1993), the transformation period (1994-1999), and the establishment period (2000-2011).Considering the fact that the draft of the law on land market and cadaster in Ukraine was issued for approval, it may be predicted that Ukraine will enter into a new stage of land reform after 2014. This stage may be termed “Restructuring.”
