Key figures for 2025 on agricultural land prices in Occitanie

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

Occitanie is one of the most agriculturally diverse regions in France: arable crops in the Gers and Tarn-et-Garonne, extensive livestock farming on the Causses and Pyrenees, Mediterranean productions in the lowlands. The utilised agricultural area (UAA) of Occitanie exceeds 3 million hectares. The region's main agricultural orientations — cereals (durum wheat, irrigated maize), oilseed and protein crops (sunflower, soya), sheep and cattle farming, fruit growing (apple, apricot), market gardening, Mediterranean productions — structure a land market whose price levels and dynamics vary considerably from one department to another.

This article presents agricultural land prices in Occitanie based on DVF (Demandes de Valeurs Foncières) data processed by ma-propriete.fr, supplemented by publications from the Ministry of Agriculture sourced from the SAFERs. The year 2025, now fully available, is analysed as a priority; 2024 serves as a comparative reference. The Languedoc vineyard area (Languedoc, Costières de Nîmes, Roussillon, Gaillac) constitutes a specific market expressly excluded from the scope of this article.

Agricultural land prices in Occitanie in 2025

Ma-propriete.fr statistics (DVF source)

In 2025, the average price of agricultural land in Occitanie stands at €7,653/ha, representing a change of -5.2% compared to 2024. The median price, an indicator less sensitive to extreme transactions, reaches €7,015/ha. Over the full year, 995 transactions were recorded in the region, with an average area per sale of 10.42 ha.

The gap between the first decile (€3,913/ha) and the ninth decile (€11,825/ha) — a P90/P10 ratio of 3.0 — illustrates the dispersion of prices within the region. This dispersion reflects the heterogeneity of terroirs, the diversity of production orientations and the variability of land pressure depending on the area.

Over the 2021–2025 period (the first years fully covered by DVF), the regional average price has risen (+5.4%).

Ministry of Agriculture statistics (SAFER source)

The SAFERs publish an annual summary of agricultural land prices, distinguishing between sales of vacant land (plots not occupied by a tenant farmer) and sales of tenanted land (plots already under a rural lease). In Occitanie, the latest available year is 2024: the average price of vacant land reaches €7,280/ha, while tenanted land data is not available (insufficient volume).

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

Analytical 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, made available by the Directorate General of Public Finances. This database records all property transfers registered in metropolitan France and overseas departments. We applied rigorous filtering to retain only transactions corresponding to strictly agricultural parcels (arable land, grasslands, specialised crops excluding vineyards), systematically excluding built properties, vineyards and AOC wine estates, as well as mixed sales combining parcels 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. The 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 vineyards and wine estates: any property identified as a vineyard parcel or linked to a wine AOC is excluded from the scope. The statistics cover exclusively agricultural land excluding vineyards.
• Mixed properties: some transfers combine agricultural parcels and buildings (farmsteads, barns, dwellings). Where the agricultural share cannot be reliably isolated, the transaction is excluded.
• Variable transaction volumes depending on the 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 year: 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 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 intermediation, which covers only part of the market. They also explicitly distinguish between sales of vacant land (not occupied by a tenant farmer) and sales of tenanted land (already under a rural lease), with a structural discount of approximately 18% for the latter.

The DVF approach, being more comprehensive, incorporates all registered transfers without distinguishing tenancy status. This explains why average DVF levels may differ from SAFER publications, particularly in regions where the proportion of tenanted sales is significant. We present both series in parallel to provide the most complete possible picture of the agricultural land market.

Conclusion

The year 2025 confirms the stability of the agricultural land market in Occitanie as a whole, with a regional average price of €7,653/ha (-5.2% vs 2024). Behind this average, the region's 13 departments display differentiated dynamics that reflect the diversity of terroirs and production orientations. The coastal departments (Gard, Hérault, Pyrénées-Orientales) show prices driven upward by land pressure and diversification, while the rural departments (Lozère, Aveyron, Lot) remain at considerably more moderate levels.
