The price of arable land in Bulgaria has risen by over 47% for 6 years, the National Statistical Institute reported. In 2014, the average price was 362 euros per decare and in 2020 it was 533 euros. The biggest rise is seen in the southeastern region of the country -  over 79%. Agricultural land there used to be cheaper, which made it attractive to investors.

The price of land in the northeast region of Dobrudzha rose by 51% and is sold for 752 euros per decare or 255 euros more in comparison to 2014. The lowest price rise was marked in the southwestern region - 21%. The price of meadows and pastures has risen by just 9 percent. The rent per decare remains low, as the price ranges between 25 and 30 euros.
