Taking the fluctuations in land prices into consideration is one of the most crucial revisions to the method at hand. In the case of land ownership, the estimated benefits obtained by owners rise significantly, hence the effect of including the increase in this production factor over time. The increase in land prices, in the case of land lease, on the other hand, leads to the growing costs of own capital due to a rise in the share of foreign capital involved in the activity. A study carried out on a group of agricultural enterprises allows to find that since Poland’s accession to the EU this is an economically-effective group, and the estimated land rent is the element that profoundly shapes it.
