Key 2025 figures for agricultural land prices in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Summary of the main DVF statistics for the year 2025, now available in full. The figures below relate exclusively to agricultural land excluding vineyards (arable crops, grassland, ploughland, specialised crops).

Nouvelle-Aquitaine is France's largest agricultural region by area, spanning 12 départements with very diverse farming systems: arable crops from the southern Paris Basin, livestock farming in Limousin, and market gardening in the South-West. The region's utilised agricultural area (UAA) exceeds 3.8 million hectares. The main regional farming systems — Limousin and Charolais suckler cattle, arable crops in Vienne and Charente, irrigated maize in Landes and Gironde, mixed farming in Dordogne, PGI-labelled productions — structure a land market whose price levels and dynamics differ considerably from one département to another.

This article presents agricultural land prices in Nouvelle-Aquitaine based on DVF (Demandes de Valeurs Foncières) data processed by ma-propriete.fr, supplemented by Ministry of Agriculture publications from the SAFER networks. The year 2025, now available in full, is the primary focus; 2024 serves as the comparative benchmark. The Bordeaux, Cognac and Lot Valley wine regions form a distinct market and are expressly excluded from the scope of this article.

Agricultural land prices in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in 2025

In 2025, the average price of agricultural land in Nouvelle-Aquitaine stands at €5,135/ha, representing a change of -2.7% compared with 2024. The median price, a measure less sensitive to extreme transactions, reaches €4,538/ha. Over the full year, 2,103 transactions were recorded in the region, with an average area per sale of 11.21 ha.

The gap between the first decile (€2,500/ha) and the ninth decile (€8,190/ha) — a P90/P10 ratio of 3.3 — illustrates the dispersion of prices within the region. This dispersion reflects the heterogeneity of soils, the diversity of farming systems and the variability of land market pressure across different areas.

Over the 2021–2025 period (the first years fully covered by DVF), the regional average price is virtually stable (-0.5%).

Ministry of Agriculture statistics (SAFER source)

The SAFER networks publish an annual summary of agricultural land prices, distinguishing between vacant land sales (plots not occupied by a tenant farmer) and tenanted land sales (plots already under a farm lease). In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the latest available year is 2024: the average price of vacant land reaches €5,470/ha, compared with €3,770/ha for tenanted land. In 2024, the gap between vacant and tenanted land reaches 31% in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, close to the national average (~18%).

SAFER figures cannot be directly overlaid on the DVF figures presented above: SAFER only covers a portion of the market (transactions subject to pre-emption rights or SAFER intermediation), whereas DVF captures all recorded transfers. The two sources are complementary and make it possible to assess the land market from two distinct angles.

Analysis methods and statistical limitations

DVF transaction analysis method used

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

For each retained transaction, we calculate the price per hectare by dividing the declared property value by the area of the transferred asset. 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 the Alsace-Moselle départements (Bas-Rhin 67, Haut-Rhin 68, Moselle 57): these three départements are governed by the land register system and are not covered by DVF.
• Exclusion of vineyards and wine estates: any property identified as a vineyard plot or associated with a wine AOC is excluded from the scope. Statistics relate exclusively to agricultural land excluding vineyards.
• Mixed properties: some transfers combine agricultural plots and buildings (farmsteads, barns, dwellings). Where the agricultural share cannot be reliably isolated, the transaction is excluded.
• Variable transaction volumes by area: in départements with low transaction activity (Corsica, Alpes-Maritimes, Var excluding viticulture), statistical robustness is more limited and annual figures 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 from SAFER statistics

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

The DVF approach, being more comprehensive, incorporates all recorded transfers without distinction as to tenancy status. This explains why average DVF price 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 picture possible of the agricultural land market.

Conclusion

The year 2025 confirms the stability of the agricultural land market in Nouvelle-Aquitaine as a whole, with a regional average price of €5,135/ha (-2.7% vs 2024). Behind this average, the region's 12 départements show differentiated dynamics reflecting the diversity of soils and farming systems. The variety of terroirs accounts for the dispersion of prices: Lot-et-Garonne and Dordogne, with their greater diversification, sit alongside the more moderate markets of Limousin (Creuse, Corrèze, Haute-Vienne).
