PRODUCTIVE AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS AND ITS USE

Abstract

Different plots of land differ greatly from each other in the income they bring to those who use them. Some lands are fertile, others are not, some are close, others are far from the market for the products produced on them, some lands are located near waterways and civilization centers - large cities, and others are so remote that they can provide only a meager living for users. Society creates additional value for land by investing in the construction of roads and railways, schools, other social facilities, as well as due to the fact of the presence of people.
All these advantages and disadvantages can be taken into account with the help of land rent, and this rent, established under the influence of market relations, becomes a true measure of the benefit of owning a particular plot of land.
If the landowner pays the cost of annual rent to the state, then different rent amounts for different plots of land create equal conditions for everyone. By paying land rent to the state (an economic measure of the superiority of a given land plot in relation to others), the landowner thus pays for the state's public expenditures that made this land valuable (roads and railways, social and engineering infrastructure).
This article discusses methods for calculating land rent and its use in establishing land tax, rent, cadastral and market value of agricultural land, and the amount of per-hectare state support for crop production on lands with negative land rent.
