The rent of agricultural lands: experience and prospects of development

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed and systematized the experience of development of rent of agricultural lands in foreign countries. One of the most important directions of land ownership rights realization is land lease – one of the most economically sensible and efficient forms of land tenure. There were established the advantages and necessary conditions for the efficient inclusion of land lease relations in the field of land tenure into market mechanisms. There was suggested a complex variant of development of the rent of lands in agricultural production. The proposed variant included the following aspects: wide use of land rent (state or agricultural organizations act in the form of landowners); encumbrance or a land tenant to improve the land; delegation for personal subsidiary plots the right to increase their field boundaries up to the dimensions which could make it possible to organize a commodity economy; the maximal land rent charge should be cracked down by the state; land rent terms should be 49-99 years, etc.
