      abstract = {In this paper, we describe recent developments in the  rental market for agricultural land in selected EU member  states and candidate countries. The analysis focuses on the  importance of the rental market as well as on the evolution  of rental prices. It appears that the share of rented land  in the total utilised agricultural area varies considerably  among member states. In the old member states, the share of  rented land ranges between 18% in Ireland and 74% in  France, while in the new member states (NMS) it ranges from  17% in Romania to 89% in Slovakia. For the former,  different strategies to provide tenure security to tenants  can explain differences in the importance of rental  markets. Changes in the significance of land rental have  also reflected changes in institutions and in economic and  political conditions. In the NMS, diverse approaches to  land reform have resulted in assorted ownership structures  and hence in differences in the share of rented land.  Regarding rental prices, governments impose price  restrictions on agricultural land rents in some countries,  such that large divergences are observed in rental prices  between and within member states.},
