The article considers the results of the land reform in the Republic of Mordovia, which in the first decade of reforms had a negative impact on the use of agricultural land in connection with the reorganization of agricultural enterprises. It contains information about the problems of land shares, the dynamics of agricultural land and arable land over the past 17 years. It provides materials on the acreage and structure of crops, in which the leading position is occupied by economically profitable crops (60% of the area) and the area of sugar beet. The article shows the importance of land policy in the formation of land relations, which affected the increase in the share of agricultural land in the state and municipal property, as well as the formation of large agricultural enterprises. These organizations in the Republic play a leading role in the use of agricultural land and agricultural production. The article considers the market of land plots, represented by the redemption of their enterprises in the property, which were previously granted to them on the right of permanent and perpetual use and 90% of the lease of agricultural land mainly by citizens in state and municipal ownership, of which 27% are used for grazing and mowing. In addition, it provides information about the problems in the Republic of cadastral registration of land, such as the lack of a description of the location of the boundaries of the land on the ground and the description of the structure in the coordinates, which does not allow to establish its connection with the land on which it is located.
