Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the role of the state in managing the Polish market of agricultural property through the introduced legal regulations. The analysis was based on declarations of intent to exercise pre-emptive rights to agricultural property that were issued in the province of Warmia and Mazury between 2016 and 31 December 2021. Legal regulations aiming to restrict the purchase of the agricultural property of the State Treasury Reserve (STR) in particular by foreign buyers came into force in 2016. At present, the main task of the National Support Center for Agriculture (Polish acronym: KOWR) is to purchase and repurchase agricultural property from private owners (pre-emptive right and the right of purchase). KOWR exercises its pre-emptive right to agricultural property before it is offered to other buyers, and it is entitled to purchase that property on the conditions specified by the parties to the agreement and for the agreed price. The research results justify the conclusion that the Polish state’s interventionism in the sale of agricultural land has an impact on the shape of the agricultural system in Poland.
