Tóm tắt

Buying, selling and mortgaging farmland are still rare in Eastern and Central Europe. Not surprisingly, given the level of risk in many of these countries, short-term transactions, especially leasing, are more common. These short-term transactions do almost as well as land sales in allocating resources. Making them more secure by improving simple registration and enforcement systems and increasing public access to information on what is for rent and at what price would do much help revive the farm sector.
