Overview 2025 has 75 companies. Their total land portfolio amounted to 19m ha, which exceeds last year’s result by 0.5m ha.

The land assets controlled by the companies in the rating in 2025 keep up the ascending trend of the previous years. Minus two companies this year is abundantly compensated by the gain of the total land portfolio by 0.5m ha. There are four newcomers in the Overview, the land portfolio of which totals 410k ha. Seven companies left the ranking:

AFG National, Agrodinamika Group, Krasnoyaruzhskaya zernovaya kompaniya (Prioskolie Group), Agro-Belogorye Group, Rubezh Agrofarm, А7  Agro and Khuzangayevskoye. Five companies that left the ranking joined the TOP-10 as a result of M&A transactions.

The most significant shifts in the Overview belong to the TOP-10. The land bank of the TOP-10 is 7.7m ha, which is 41 % of the total land portfolio of the Overview. The TOP-5 controls 5m ha this year, which is 26 % of the total land bank of the rating. Sibagro stepped back from the TOP-10, making way for GAP Resurs. The land portfolio of the TOP-10 expanded by 699k ha, which is almost 4.5 times more than the growth of the TOP-10 last year.

The trend towards consolidation of the land assets by major market players has been continuing, but its pace and size are still insignificant on a national scale. It should be taken into account that the land bank of the rating participants includes not only arable land, but also a significant share of other types of agricultural land, i.e. pastures, hayfields, fallow land. The large landholders control no more than 5 % of all agricultural land in the country.

Along with the strengthening of large holdings, the market landscape is confidently formed by medium-sized players which are successfully expanding their land assets. Newcomers pop up in the Overview every year, while just a few years ago they controlled less than 90k ha of agricultural land.
