Letters after a figure come from Eurostat: e = estimated, p = provisional, d = definition differs, b = break in series. Husfarm leaves out zero values and figures that differ from the rest of a series by a factor of four or more, which points to a different unit or definition. Charts and five-year changes start after the latest break in a series.

## Questions and answers

How much does a hectare of farmland cost in the EU?Eurostat estimates the average price of a hectare of arable land in the EU at EUR 15,224 in 2024, and of permanent grassland at EUR 11,753. National averages range from EUR 4,825 in Latvia to EUR 268,649 in Malta, and prices also differ between regions of each country.
How much does it cost to rent farmland?Renting a hectare of farmland in the EU cost on average EUR 295 for a year in 2024 (Eurostat estimate for arable land and permanent grassland together). Each country page lists rents by region and year.
Can farmland prices from different countries be compared?With care. National statistics offices compile the figures with their own methods, and Eurostat marks figures that are estimated (e), provisional (p), defined differently (d) or follow a break in the series (b). Compare the same type of land in the same year, and check those marks.
Where do these figures come from?From Eurostat’s statistics of agricultural land prices and rents, which national statistics offices supply, from Statistics Poland as published by ARiMR and from the USDA’s annual land values survey. Husfarm updates these pages when the publishers release new figures.
