Agri sector is always best solution if you have nothing to do. But is it also a good profession if you can take it. So you have options to choose. Basically, people are more interested to do industry but agriculture sector is also a good sector to do anyone's best career. So if you have and don't use it now, just hold it. It can be used later

I my country the population is on the exponential increase and my inept politicians are doing nothing about this, as such new areas are been opened up for development so lands are always appreciation at a very fast right but I think this is equally not too good for my nation and it's growth.

[stompix]

I think those who have never been involved in agriculture talk literally nonsense when they talk about some value that such a land has, because the land itself is not worth much, and working 12 hours a day of hard physical work is not something that belongs to the ideal occupations. Personally, I know people who own agricultural land, but do not produce anything on it, it is simply easier for them to buy than to produce.

Hihi, people think agricultural land is the same everywhere you have land that somethings grows on it will increase in value because...not!

Coming from a family of farmers, you have a lot of variables that influence what the value of the land is.
There is no such thing as "price of agricultural" land like gold price.
It matters a lot what kind of soil you have and where is that located.
You have dark rich in humus black soil in Europe, yeah that's one good plot of land, is it land with sand mixed in it and far from water or rich in clay? Good luck finding a buyer!

And the problems don't stop here, with a lower quality soil than your neighbor farmer you will always be at a disadvantage, he gets 10 tons per ha, you get 9, that 10% in revenue when the cost is 80% is the difference between bankruptcy and survival in agriculture.
It also depends on how rare is the thing you can grow on your soil compared to the country and how much can you compete with imports.
So no, not just any land will increase in value automatically.

In this crisis due to the pandemic, there is instability in prices and agricultural land is of great value because the pandemic is showing us a great shortage of food.

Nope, it's the opposite!

   I have agricultural land, from my grandparents. My father didn't do anything
there, he gave it to me. Its 40 km from the city, in dying village where houses
and land doesn't worth anything.
   It has fruit trees, different cherries, different nuts, apple's, peaches, pear's. I go
there once or twice per year, when I am passing by, if there's fruit I take some. I don't
plan to sell it, because of very low value, and I don't plan to work there, it's too far
and I have too many obligations. It will stay like that, probably I will give that to my kids
when times come.

[cryptogringo]

In my opinion you should definetley keep the land and it would be the best if you could use it in the meantime. Having a ranch or something like that. I think that being self sufficient in terms of meat and vegetable can have big value in the future. And it is already nice if you can produce some eco food yourself.
But if the location is too far for something like that you can still cut and sell some forest if you have it.

Actually, many are realizing now the benefits of having your own land especially in this pandemic situation. As you will see in most YT videos during this pandemic, there are a lot of vloggers who posted about their gardening, farm to table recipes and other videos showing how to be self-sufficient utilizing your own garden, whether small or big. Indeed, having your own land will give you so much benefits that most of us are taking it for granted.

Build a small house there and you'll have a serene spot to spend hot summer weekends surrounded by the smell of flowers and eating ripe fruits.

I'd really like to have a place like that and the cost of building a wooden cabin is really low.

My opinion about selling any land is plain and simple. If it's so far away that you can't visit it even once a year and can't rent it out you should sell it.

[gentlemand]

It depends on what country you're in. In some places agriculture is so warped by government policies that valuations have zero relation to actual reality. Farmers are paid to let the land do nothing. Any time something's use and value is dictated by a policy means that value can radically change if that policy changes.

Round my way I see farms with effectively useless land, the only thing you can do with it is let sheep walk up and down it, sell for millions. If I owned that I'd get rid. I don't see where the future is without subsidies of some sort.

[Rulelies]

Well it depends on the condition i’m in. If i don’t really need money, i won’t sell it. Because price of land hardly depreciate but if i need money urgently maybe for another investment that will yield very big profit and fast, i will sell it and maybe buy it later.

[dunfida]

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?

HOLD while you can!

I do have some agricultural lands which is divided in parts where theres coconut tress and a ricefield which basically generate out income but of course you would need to invest specially on ricefield.
You can utilize the land while its still in your own hands and if the time comes that you had stopped planting and then consider on selling it out then its unlikely for land property to decrease its value
after all the years.If you can still hold then it would be better but if there are instances or circumstances that you would need to sell just because for some emergencies then you can sell it of .

[The cure]

Hold it, why you have to sell if it's not necessary. You can plant trees and vegetables there, There's alot of opportunities there if you learn how to manage it., or develop it then make it as a tourist spot if possible in the location. If you don't need emergency money hold it as long time as you can because the value of land decreases.

[bithisach]

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?

HOLD IT, no doubt at all. It's going to be more and more valuable as industrial farmers destroy the lands they work on.

[Rosilito]

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?

HOLD!

If you can hold it for 2+ years then it should do pretty well. If other industries fail then you still have something for yourself providing you have the money to use it (if that's your intention).

Now probably isn't a good time to sell and it'll probably be best to sell when the markets are back to being booming and have been for a while...

I’ll agree with @jackg suggestions as this is not a good time to sell your land, and even if you do try to sell it now then people will only try to buy it at a cheaper price, and you’ll loose out on making a good income from your land sale. Further I feel that you should hodl this land for at least 3 - 5 years as the current global economic conditions are bad, and you should only consider selling your land in the short term if you’re getting a surreal profitable deal otherwise don’t bother selling for now.

Yeah I agree too, holding out it for several years will do me good, for sure.

If there's no compelling reason for me to sell it specially in this kind of messed up times, then holding out was the only choice I need to stick with. I'm afraid that I might failed like what my relatives did back then. As they are the one who supposed making a fortune from it. Rushing things would just lead to shallow decisions. So yeah, there will be no selling, till I get a plausible reason to put such land on sale.

You can also use it for your vacation, sometimes leaving in the city is stressful and you need to go somewhere far
from the reality of the world.
Having land like that also gave you the opportunities stay far, once you needed some quite time then it's a good
venue for you to think and relaxed.


Maybe after more years your kids will benefits from your land, time will come and the value of particular properties
will rise high, you are lucky to have one from your grandparents.

We prepare their future by having an asset to them, which they can use it for their life. If we use it to another thing that can grow in the future, that will give additional benefits to us and our kids, and who knows, we can help the other people too if we can use that agricultural land with the right. We can't know what will happen in the future, but if we can use it for a good thing, I am sure that it will be back to us.

[abhiseshakana]

As was done by my father in the village that has both farm fields and garden fields. He leases it to other farmers with a production sharing system every harvest period and the harvest has been sold. The aim of the assets of the land used for long-term investment while leased can be used for daily needs. Why per period of harvest so my parents can give direction to the tenant to derivate plants every harvest period to keep the soil fertile. If the tenant follows the directions, then my parents will look for other tenants and if not, my parents will look for farm laborers to plant crops that are different from the previous harvest period.

My parents did not manage their own fields for the purpose of improving the economy of farmers who did not own the fields but also had the awareness that farming also needed knowledge. Traditional farmers rely on the generation of generation experience even though the condition of the ecosystem is changing now, so that experience is no longer relevant.

Depend if where the place is located,if this is very far from the city then the value is not that high,and also depend on what is likes and dislikes.

Agricultural living is not that easy so if you have no love in farming then better sell it and buy house near city because the value is fast growing not like in agricultural lands that the value is moving low before increasing.

There is an opposite opinion. If the area is big and is suitable for building a factory or something like that, then it is good that it is far from the city, because of a pollution and etc. And what matters are - is there a decent road or public transport nearby.

If I had that kind of land and I dont have resources to keep it in condition, I would have sold it. In our country, if you have land you cant just leave and let the grass and others just grow there for ages. You have to keep it in well condition (not a perfect lawn or something like that, but not like a jungle) or you will get a fine.

I am amazed that majority of people didn't say: Sell your land and hold bitcoin. 

It really depends on your conditions and aims. For example, if you were just holding that land for a long time, then what about to still wait for a while? At least, you can build small house there and it will be another home for you. In such cases, owning of agricultural land is another bonus too, you can plant, cultivate something and always have your own grocery (or cultivate hen, cows and etc). If you have time for this or can make it happen via help from others, for example relatives, then it's a good idea.

But if you have some budget and want another budget to buy, for example apartment or another better and bigger land, then I would sell it, collect money and would wait for a while for prices to come down.

selling agricultural land to buy btc is also a good thing to do , if i have one ill do that move because im still young and im more into bitcoins that on farming/agriculture  .

on btc i am sure that i can manage my investment well than managing a land  . some are even worster because they sell anything they have for btc  but they arent a good example either , we must only sell if the thing is not useful for us anymore .
