The price of unleased land has risen by 2.3% to €3,900/ha in the Pays de la Loire region in 2022, with an increase of 4% in Loire-Atlantique in particular.

The price of rented land is up by 2.3% to €3,180.

The volume of transactions and the surface area sold are stable (+0.5% and -0.9% respectively).

Data source : The data used in this article comes from statistics published by the SAFER relating to plots larger than 70 ares (7,000 m² or 0.70 hectare), which have been statistically processed by Agreste (the statistical department of the Ministry of Agriculture) and then published in the Journal Officiel in the Barème indicatif de la valeur vénale moyenne des terres agricoles en 2022.

As mentioned, these market prices are purely indicative and in no way oblige you to buy or sell at the rates indicated. If you look at the details of the minimum and maximum values shown, you will see that prices generally vary widely. However, they should be taken into account to avoid any pre-emption with a price revision by the SAFER.

Farmland sale prices by département in the Pays-de-la-Loire region

Reading these statistics for each département in the Pays-de-la-Loire region provides a more accurate picture. Prices are grouped by small agricultural region, with an average price and minimum and maximum prices. 

The agricultural regions at the level of each département correspond to areas with common characteristics, making it possible to produce consistent statistics based on homogeneous data.

The sale price of vacant farmland

The statistics on the sale price of vacant farmland in the départements of the Pays-de-la-Loire region concern sales of land that is not rented on the day of sale. The purchaser of the parcels of land may then, subject to obtaining authorisation to farm under the Control of Structures, farm the land himself as part of an installation on a farm or lease it to a farmer.

The sale price of rented farmland

The statistics on the sale price of rented farmland in the départements of the Pays-de-la-Loire region concern sales of rented land. The buyer may either be the farmer himself, or a landowner who will continue to rent the land to the farmer.

In some départements, the number of transactions involving this type of land is insufficient to provide reliable statistics.

The price of rented farmland is generally lower than the price of freehold land, with discounts varying greatly from one département and region to another, and can be as high as 30%.

See our article on the price of rented farmland in France since 2012 for information on discounts and the profitability of investing in rented farmland.

Our articles on farmland prices in France

We provide you with comprehensive statistics on land prices.

We analyse land prices at the time of publication of the official SAFER figures:

In addition to these annual statistics, we publish articles analysing land price trends over much longer periods: 

This latest series presents more detailed prices for each region since 1999:

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need help interpreting these data.

These figures are updated every year following publication by Agreste (the Ministry of Agriculture's statistics department) of the official land price figures, which are derived from SAFER statistics.
