Abstract: The article presents the annual ranking of the largest owners of agricultural land in Russia as of the beginning of 2023, compiled by BEFL together with the FSBSI FRC AESDRA VNIIESH. The analysis of the data was carried out solely for the purpose of determining the main owners of agricultural land in Russia and the approximate size of their agricultural land. As we use the term «under control» in this article means the possession of agricultural land by ownership, lease or other established legal right. We do not rule out that there are other participants in the agricultural land market that own land banks comparable to those indicated in this article, but not included in the presented rating. To analyze this market segment, we used public information disclosed by the landowners themselves and their representatives, shareholders, beneficiaries, and the opinions of participants in the agricultural land market. Despite the decrease in profitability in crop production in 2022 the demand for land assets of agricultural organizations in the market increased. Given the general trend of currency volatility and their inflationary processes in the world economy are intensifying, agriculture continued to be an attractive sector of the economy for investment in the face of limited more reliable alternative capital investments. By the end of 2022 – beginning of 2023, arable land prices increased both in the central region and in the southern regions of Russia.
