Problems of Creating a Specialized Institution for Managing the State-Owned Agricultural Estate
Abstract
The aim of the article is to develop a new model for managing the state-owned agricultural lands taking into account the European experience. The analysis of the functioning of land funds in countries of the European Union is carried out, the basic characteristic features of their activity are singled out and grouped. As a result of the research, it is proposed to create a state specialized institution for managing the state-owned agricultural estate, ensuring the implementation of the state policy and development of rural areas that, unlike existing ones, carry out scientific research activities. The activities will focus on ensuring the implementation of state policies to regulate the agricultural land market; consolidating agricultural land; settling the problem of collective land ownership and the issue of recognition of agricultural lands as escheat inheritance; realizing on behalf of the state of the preferential right to acquire agricultural land plots in case of their sale; conducting intermediary activity in the market for agricultural estate, etc. The existence of a state specialized institution will allow land users not only to utilize but also to dispose land resources. An interesting and promising way to manage the state-owned agricultural lands can be using public-private partnership.
