Updated May 7, 2026
We have built an Agricultural Land Price Observatory in France using DVF data published by the tax administration. Discover farmland sale prices in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2025.

Key 2025 figures for agricultural land prices in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

Summary of the main DVF statistics for 2025, now available in full. The figures below cover exclusively agricultural land excluding vineyards (arable crops, grasslands, tillable land, specialised crops).

Bourgogne-Franche-Comté combines mixed crop-livestock farming areas (Saône-et-Loire, Nièvre), cereal-growing regions (Yonne, Côte-d'Or) and a Jura massif oriented towards PDO dairy farming. The regional UAA exceeds 1.9 million hectares, representing nearly 40% of the territory. The main regional agricultural orientations — mixed crop-beef cattle farming (Charolais, Limousin), PDO dairy farming (Comté/Morbier) in the Jura, cereal cropping in the Yonne and Côte-d'Or, permanent grasslands in Saône-et-Loire and Nièvre — structure a land market whose levels and dynamics differ significantly from one department to another.

This article presents agricultural land prices in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté based on DVF data (Demandes de Valeurs Foncières) processed by ma-propriete.fr, supplemented by Ministry of Agriculture publications derived from SAFER data. The year 2025, now available in full, is commented on as a priority; 2024 serves as the comparative reference. The Burgundy vineyard (Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Mâconnais, Chablisien, Côtes du Jura) constitutes a market in its own right, expressly excluded from the scope of this article.

Agricultural land prices in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in 2025

ma-propriete.fr statistics (DVF source)

In 2025, the average price of agricultural land in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté stands at €2,907/ha, representing a change of +0.1% compared to 2024. The median price, a less sensitive indicator to extreme transactions, reaches €2,773/ha. Over the full year, 1,303 transactions were recorded in the region with an average area per sale of 10.36 ha.

The gap between the first decile (€1,813/ha) and the ninth decile (€4,185/ha) — a P90/P10 ratio of 2.3 — illustrates the dispersion of prices within the region. This dispersion reflects the heterogeneity of terroirs, the diversity of productive orientations and the variability of land pressure by zone.

Over the 2021–2025 period (the first years fully covered by DVF), the regional average price is virtually stable (-0.4%).

Ministry of Agriculture statistics (SAFER source)

The SAFERs publish an annual summary of agricultural land prices, distinguishing sales of vacant land (plots not occupied by a tenant farmer) from sales of tenanted land (plots already under a rural lease). In Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, the latest available year is 2024: the average price for vacant land reaches €2,920/ha, compared to €2,670/ha for tenanted land. In 2024, the gap between vacant and tenanted land reaches 9% in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, in line with the national average (~18%).

SAFER figures are not directly comparable to the DVF figures presented above: SAFER covers only a portion of the market (transactions subject to pre-emption rights or brokerage), whereas DVF captures all recorded transfers. The two sources are complementary and allow the land market to be assessed from two distinct angles.

Analysis methods and limitations of the statistics

DVF transaction analysis method used

The statistics presented in this article are based on the DVF (Demandes de Valeurs Foncières) database, opened by the Directorate General of Public Finances. This database records all property transfers registered in metropolitan France and the overseas departments. We applied rigorous filtering to retain only transactions corresponding to strictly agricultural plots (arable land, grasslands, specialised crops excluding vineyards), systematically excluding built properties, vines and AOC vineyards, as well as mixed sales combining plots and buildings.

For each retained transaction, we calculate the price per hectare by dividing the declared land value by the area of the transferred property. Regional and departmental statistics then aggregate these unit values: average price, median price, first decile (P10) and ninth decile (P90), average area, and total number of annual sales.

Limitations of DVF data

The use of DVF data requires several methodological precautions.

• Exclusion of Alsace-Moselle departments (Bas-Rhin 67, Haut-Rhin 68, Moselle 57): these three departments fall under the land register system and are not covered by DVF.
• Exclusion of vines and vineyards: any property identified as a vineyard plot or associated with a wine AOC is excluded from the scope. The statistics cover exclusively agricultural land excluding vines.
• Mixed properties: certain transfers combine agricultural plots and buildings (farmsteads, barns, dwellings). Where the agricultural portion cannot be reliably isolated, the transaction is excluded.
• Variable transaction volumes by area: in departments with low transaction activity (Corsica, Alpes-Maritimes, Var excluding viticulture), statistical robustness is more limited and annual values may show significant fluctuations from one year to the next.
• Partial 2020 data: the DVF database is only usable from the second half of 2020. The 2020 statistics therefore cover the period July–December 2020 and are not directly comparable to a full year.

Differences with SAFER statistics

The statistics published annually by the SAFERs (Sociétés d'aménagement foncier et d'établissement rural) and the Ministry of Agriculture differ from our DVF approach on several points. The SAFERs rely on transactions subject to their pre-emption rights or brokerage, which covers only a portion of the market. They also explicitly distinguish sales of vacant land (not occupied by a tenant farmer) from sales of tenanted land (already under a rural lease), with a structural discount of approximately 18% for the latter.

The DVF approach, more comprehensive, incorporates all recorded transfers without distinction as to tenancy status. This explains why average DVF levels may differ from SAFER publications, particularly in regions where the weight of tenanted sales is significant. We present both series in parallel to offer the most complete view possible of the agricultural land market.

Conclusion

The year 2025 confirms the stability of the agricultural land market in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté as a whole, with a regional average price of €2,907/ha (+0.1% vs 2024). Behind this average, the region's 8 departments show differentiated dynamics reflecting the diversity of terroirs and productive orientations. This is one of the most affordable regions in France. The weight of grasslands and livestock farming land pulls prices down, while the Yonne, more cereal-oriented, approaches the standards of the Paris Basin.
