This topic is current in the context of the Village Development Programme 2007 - 2015 evaluation and search for effective tools for supporting agricultural land use. The results of research conducted in 2017 based on the data of Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine and Accounting Chamber of Ukraine are presented.
