CROP MONITORING IN UKRAINE: MYTH OR REALITY?

Ukraine is on the verge of opening the land market. This process will begin in 2020, when free sale of land will be introduced. Currently, only the lease of the land is officially allowed. To ensure transparency, equity and reliability of this process, objective information on real land use and its history, crop development state in each vegetation season is required. All these indicators significantly affect the market value of the land. However, there is no publicly available system in Ukraine with information on real land use and landowners. This information is only contained in the state cadaster system, which contains a lot of incorrect information, since land ownership acts were generated chiefly manually. These mistakes became obvious after the process of digitizing the state cadaster. Therefore, creation of the legal, technical and legislative prerequisites for opening the land market becomes an extremely important task, as well as the development of geospatial information system of real land use in Ukraine. The World Bank program “Supporting Transparent Land Governance in Ukraine” with financial support from the EU is aimed at addressing these issues.
Keywords: transparent land use, World Bank, satellite monitoring, big data, data analysis.
