Indirect corporate agricultural land use in Ukraine: distribution, causes, consequences

In the example of Ukraine, it has been studied the conditions of ever-growing popularity of new forms of indirect control over land resources in the field of agriculture, when agricultural enterprises do not acquire any property rights or the rights on land use and, instead, they tend to use land plots of the subsidiary companies that act as nominee land users. The research findings have shown that the traditional forms of state regulation of the agricultural land market are currently losing their effectiveness. Furthermore, land right acquisition is more and more often being fulfilled not by buying land plots but through acquiring corporate rights for the companies that own or use land nominally. The directions of control improvement over economic concentration of land resources in agriculture have been substantiated in the conducted research.
