®Short answer
There is no shortcut to knowing what a piece of agricultural land is worth in Latvia — prices vary several times over between regions and even between neighbouring parishes. What you can do is look at what land near a specific property has actually sold for. The map is free with an account: it shows one layer at a time and includes 4 property reports and 4 owner reveals a day. Kalējs (€99 a month) shows every layer at once.
1. What the land market looks like right now
Agricultural land in Latvia is bought for very different reasons — some buyers farm it themselves, some lease it out, some are consolidating a block of parcels they already own nearby. Because of that mix, the price per hectare a buyer should expect depends heavily on the specific municipality, the size of the parcel, and how much of it is actually farmable versus overgrown or unregistered land. There is no single national price that applies to a given field — the difference between the cheapest and most expensive municipalities in Latvia is several times over, not a small margin.
That is why the most useful thing you can do before making an offer is not to ask what land "is worth" in general, but to look at what has actually changed hands nearby, recently, at what price, and for what kind of land.
2. Check real prices before you make an offer
Every land transaction in Latvia is registered with the State Land Service, and that register is public data. KALME turns it into a map: registered transactions — price per hectare, sold area, land composition and date — plotted where they happened, so you can see what a neighbouring or comparable parcel sold for instead of guessing.
For a national overview of current agricultural land prices, medians by municipality and how prices have moved since 2022, see the price of agricultural land in Latvia. That article is a summary; the map itself lets you zoom into the exact area you are interested in and check transactions parcel by parcel.
Where to look. Open the KALME map, find the area you're considering, and browse the transactions that already happened there — with the price per hectare, sold area and land composition for each one. The map is free with an account: it shows one layer at a time and includes 4 property reports and 4 owner reveals a day. Kalējs (€99 a month) shows every layer at once.

Frequently asked questions
Does KALME sell or broker land itself?
Yes. KALME is a registered real estate intermediary. We buy properties, represent buyers and take a 3% commission from one side only. The map of registered transactions is the same for everyone. We do not promise sellers a particular price.
Do I need an account to check prices?
Yes, a free account. It takes a minute and needs no password.
How current is the transaction data?
The map is built from the State Land Service's public transaction register and is updated monthly. Recently closed transactions can take some weeks to appear in the register before KALME can show them — see the methodology notes on the price of agricultural land for detail on that registration lag.
