The price of arable land in every region of the Netherlands was above all other available national averages in the EU.
However, among the EU regions for which data are available, the highest prices for arable land were in the Spanish region of Canary Islands (an average €120 477 per hectare in 2020).
Arable land was cheapest in Croatia, with a hectare costing an average €3 440 in 2020.
At the regional level, a hectare of arable land cost least in the South-West region (Yugozapaden) of Bulgaria (an average €2 051).

I’m surprised how cheap land in France is, because I was going there from Poland to work on vineyard and always thought that owner of vineyard is rich as hell because of land his family own. Maybe because grapes can not grow everywhere in France and this Map is about whole france
The Dutch also get the most produce out of their land.
The beauty of highly mechanised agricultural sector in action.
Good luck finding someone that is selling agricultural land in Bulgaria that is big enough to be worth it. Almost everything is already bought and they don’t want small lands because it takes more time to move the machines and costs more.
Men, it’s almost 2 million per hectare where i am in France, doubt this is acurate
It’s another way of estimating where are farmers able to do business by using subsidies the most hassle and corruption free.
someone should make a Map and share it with /r/MapsWithoutGermany

Proceeds to then put € on the Y-axis, and on each number anyway.
Ireland has always had absurdly high prices for agricultural land. Vastly above any expectation of what could be earned from it over the lifetime of the person buying.
I cant see it changing any time soon although there is an issue with the average age of Irish farmers getting older and older. A huge proportion of farmers are part time – having a second job they actually get an income from.
I think this is actually good. If land is expensive, it’s seen as more of an investment, can be used as collateral for loans to get modern equipment, people who own it can sell it and actually get some decent money.
Land to be super cheap and basically worthless. Lying fallow for years and years.
Seems like logarithmic scale would be more useful
