More than 1,300 pieces of state-owned land with an area of less than 10 hectares will be offered for sale through a public tender in the land sale program, which will continue from February 12, 2024. Purchase offers can be made for the areas for 30 days, i.e. until March 12, 2024, on the interface of the Electronic Tender System.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Hungarian farmers have good land, they cultivate these areas with their daily work and supply Hungarian households with food. The ministry is also committed to speeding up the liquidation of undivided common land ownership, with which it intends to remedy the more than three-decade-old debt of Hungarian property policy. That is why real estate shares where the state is a minority owner are also sold, so even the co-owners can acquire additional property in the relevant property, which – ideally – can also reduce the number of co-owners.

As with the previous land sale programs, the land to be sold will also serve to clean up the state’s land portfolio

Those typically small-area properties wedged between privately owned lands are put up for sale, the utilization of which can be carried out more optimally by the users of the neighboring properties. For effective farming, it is essential to create the right holding size, for which the current land sale program also offers a good opportunity.

In the seventh phase of the land sale program launched in February, land is available in hundreds of settlements

40 percent of the more than 3,500 hectares are arable land, meadows, pastures; 25 percent is forest, and the remaining area is property with mixed cultivation. Anyone who meets the conditions set out in the law can make a purchase offer.
