This reported brokerage association NVM on Thursday based on new figures. According to the NVM, farmers had good operating results in the past six months, but the supply of land was scarce. “As soon as land becomes available, there is immediately a lot of interest,” the association writes.
For example, dairy farms need more land to comply with stricter manure regulations. And although the cessation scheme for pig farms caused a good number of farms in that sector to quit, it did not result in a lower land price.
“There may be less supply on the market, but the farms that do get offered usually sell well. Especially if permits are in order,” writes the NVM.
Dairy farms in particular remain very popular. One hectare of land when selling such a farm in 2021 still cost 75,000 euros. That has now risen to 100,000 euros. Grassland yields an average of 83,600 euros per hectare.
