A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
The state pays 950 million Ft to maintain land it shouldn't own.
Property upkeep is not an independent budget item — it is the carrying cost of a trading portfolio, and it falls automatically as parcels are sold to private farmers who will maintain them without state subsidy.
949.5 millió Ft in 2026 — falling by roughly 317 millió Ft in Year 1 and reaching near zero by Year 3 as the discretionary land portfolio shrinks.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: farmland kept in order at state expense. The unseen: private farmers who would maintain the same land — and improve it — once they own it outright, without any of the 950 millió Ft flowing through public accounts.
Ellenvetés
"Land has to be maintained — if the state owns it, the state must pay for upkeep."
Válasz
Yes, and that is precisely the argument for selling it. The maintenance cost is not a reason to retain state ownership — it is a cost that disappears when the parcel is transferred to a private farmer who has every incentive to care for land they own. The state's carrying cost is the reform's strongest argument for completing the disposal.
Share if you think maintenance costs are a reason to sell state assets, not to keep them.

Indoklás
The upkeep cost of the physical real property held in the Land Fund — the unavoidable carrying cost of any retained stock of land and buildings. This line is mechanically tied to the size of the retained portfolio: a state that holds less land maintains less land. It carries no independent rationale separate from the decision about how much land the state should own, and it should phase down on the same trajectory as the portfolio itself. The residual after the glide is the genuine maintenance cost of whatever core the state retains for a defensible public purpose plus the parcels still encumbered by live annuity contracts.
Átállási mechanizmus
Falls in proportion to the reduction of the retained portfolio over three years. Maintenance obligations on parcels under sale or under live lease run their course; the line drops as parcels leave state hands.
Érintett csoportok
Maintenance contractors and service providers, protected by contract run-off. No life-plan dependency at scale.
