Parameters

Land share lease: legal minimum — ≥3% of normative valuation, market — 10–15% of gross income per ha or ~UAH 4–8k/ha by region. In-kind share (grain) equals a % of harvest — fluctuates with price and weather. Since Ukraine's land market opened (2021) share leases are mostly cash. Compare by equivalent value, not by form.
