How to Buy Agricultural Land in Turkey?

To buy agricultural land in Turkey as a foreigner, the buyer must present a valid project for their future agricultural land. As some foreigners use their agricultural land for different purposes, the law states that foreign agricultural land buyers must show an agricultural project two years after the buying process.

For the agricultural project, mostly agricultural product cultivation and livestock farming are getting used. These two choices can offer big profits to the landowners.

When buying agricultural land, the location is also important. The land must not be close to military or forbidden areas. Also, foreigners can not buy more than 300 thousand sqm of land. So, it is advised to do deep research before investing in land for sale in Turkey.

The agricultural land is considered an everyday-working facility. So, the owner of the agricultural land must have a Turkish citizen proxy. It is a must for receiving formal documents and joining annual commercial procedures in Turkey.

The whole process of purchasing agricultural land in Turkey is hard while handling individually, especially without experience. It consists of long and hard stages while dealing without experience. So, it is strongly recommended to have a consultancy from a professional real estate agency.
