The article is devoted to the legal regime of agricultural land owned by citizens on the right of permanent use, the mechanism of its re-registration, the problems of lack of the right to inherit such land. The problems of organizational and legal character regarding the participation of farms in the purchase of agricultural land, which were revealed in connection with the adoption of amendments to Article 130 of the Land Code of Ukraine, are outlined. Farmers may be confronted with: 1) the lack of funds needed to buy back the parcels of land used by them for permanent use; 3) the land will be sold by the normative monetary assessment, not by the expert one, which is the most relevant and justified; land market owners will be willing to sell them. It should also be noted that if the rent is paid in advance, the farm as a legal entity automatically paid all the mandatory tax payments and fees for the entire period of the lease. It was emphasized that the right of redemption of the land used by the right of permanent use should be given both to the natural persons – founders and members of the farm, and the farm - the economic entity.

The article is devoted to formulating such definition as "agricultural business" in the legal context. It is highlighted that agroindustrial complex and agricultural business are not identical things, first of all because of different orientation of economic activity. The social and economic content of agricultural business was revealed. Different approaches to the disclosure of the essence of agricultural business are considered, such as: subjective, functional, in the context of a certain type of relations. As a result, the author's definition of the study category was proposed. Аgribusiness includes: relations concerning the production of agricultural products, raw materials; all relations related to the processing, storage, transportation and sale of manufactured products; relations with logistical and scientific support of agricultural producers. Аgribusiness from a legal point of view, then in a generalized form it can be defined as an activity that is carried out systematically for profit in the process of production, processing, storage, transportation and sale of agricultural products and raw materials.
