As of December 2017, only 7.1% of the lands of the Odessa region were registered by the State Land Cadastre. How and who uses the remaining hectares is currently unknown.

Oleg Nivevsky, a specialist in agricultural economics, conducted a study and found that state-owned agricultural enterprises produce 60% less value-added than individual entrepreneurs.
