The market for agricultural land plays an important role in the functioning of Kazakhstan’s agro-industrial complex. The share of agricultural land in the overall structure of the land fund accounts for 81.5%; therefore, the condition of land resources directly affects the situation in rural areas. The purpose is to study the features of land relations in the republic and identify the conditions for involving land areas in market turnover. The object of the research is the regulatory, economic, and social processes of the land sector, which have a subjective nature due to the stateimposed moratorium on the sale of agricultural land plots. From 2016 until December 2026, the sale of agricultural land has been suspended; transactions between business entities are carried out mainly in the form of lease relations. Methods — analysis of scientific and applied literature to identify regulators of the formation and development of the land segment of the economy; analytical methods to establish factors influencing the land asset market environment based on surveys and interviews; statistical analysis of indicators to examine supply for the commodity represented by land; and the monographic method to generalize the experience of developed countries in this context. Results - indicate that the expansion of the rural land real estate market in the Republic of Kazakhstan is regulated by the state on the basis of laws, resolutions, regulatory and standard documents, as well as purchase-and-sale and lease relations between economic entities. Conclusions — to include rural land tracts in economic turnover, it is necessary to improve business tools for promoting land holdings as a quality commodity used in agricultural production.
