The transactions in the agricultural land market in Slovakia

摘要

Data on the transactions with agricultural land in 2012, based on the primary data from the Research Institute of Geodesy and Cartography in Bratislava, were evaluated according to the legal status of the buyer and also whether the legal person was a national of the Slovak Republic, or had been resident abroad. The results of the data analysis pointed out that in the selected twelve districts of the Slovak Republic in 2012, there were 55.75% of legal persons, 44.10% of natural persons and 0.15% of subjects without determining the legal form involved in the transactions with agricultural land. Legal persons were divided into two categories, i.e. the entities with the nationality of the Slovak Republic and the entities domiciled abroad. The results showed that in 2012, within the study sample of buyers of the farmland, there were 99.91% of legal persons having the nationality of the Slovak Republic, and only 0.09% was other legal persons from abroad.
