DVF data cannot produce reliable farmland statistics for French Guiana (very low volumes and local land-registration specifics). The overseas-departments value scale, where published, is the most solid reference. See our national statistics in the farmland price observatory.
No official land-value scale is published for this territory: the farmland market is too narrow (and partly outside the scope of national statistics). The benchmarks remain the mainland national average — €6,460/ha for unencumbered land in 2025 — and the local SAFER's references.
In French Guiana, farming (shifting cultivation, fruit, market gardening, savanna livestock) develops on mostly state-owned land allocated by grant or concession; the private market is embryonic and the national scale publishes no values. Free of any tenancy, the land can be put to work from the first season. Also browse the farms and agricultural estates for sale in French Guiana.
Before signing, three points to check: the SAFER's pre-emption right (cleared through notarised notification, two-month response), land-structure control (farming authorisation depending on area and situation) and transfer duties (about 5.8% of the price, before fees). After the purchase, farm directly or let under a rural lease: long-term leases carry, under conditions, IFI and inheritance advantages. Estimate your budget with our financial calculators.
