Abstract: Agricultural land consolidation is one of the most effective tools for managing rural land resources, improving the structure of agricultural land in the country, increasing national economic and social efficiency, and bringing benefits to both private rights holders and society as a whole. As a tool for land management, it is very complex, as it requires a carefully developed regulatory framework that is integrated into the national legal framework. Depending on the needs of the society applying land consolidation, this tool can be used to achieve various goals. This article examines the fragmentation of agricultural land in Azerbaijan and the problems of its consolidation. The main reasons for the problems of land fragmentation in the country have been identified. Based on the study of the experience of European countries, the author of the article came to the conclusion that in Azerbaijan it is necessary to develop and adopt new land legislation aimed at implementing the land consolidation mechanism. The author, taking into account the mentality and traditions of the local population, considers it necessary to conduct large-scale measures to consolidate agricultural land in the country as the next stage of land reform.
