Agri-land Insights & Advice

2026 Agricultural Land Report

In a major new report with Teagasc, auctioneer, and valuer members of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI), operating in the agricultural sales and rental market describe an active and competitive market with prices underpinned by strong demand and a continued scarcity of available land.

However, while land prices are expected to continue on a steady upwards trajectory, the outlook this year is notably more cautious than in recent years.

SCSI auctioneers and valuers say their caution reflects uncertainty over output prices, rising costs and broader economic and geopolitical uncertainties.

The report finds that disruptions to energy markets arising from the US / Israeli war with Iran have contributed to increases in fuel, fertiliser and other input prices across Europe with knock-on implications for agricultural production costs and farm profitability.

The report found that the average national price for good quality agricultural land in 2025 was €14,126, an increase of 7% on the previous year.

Meanwhile, the average national price for poor quality agricultural land was €6,963 per acre, an increase of 5% on the previous year.
