The effective use of agricultural land has a significant impact on economic growth and the welfare of the population. The article justifies that in order to compare the expediency of using agricultural land in different regions of the republic in circulation, universal criteria for their assessment are needed. The issues of increasing the productivity of agricultural land, taking into account the cost data of livestock and crop production, as well as the degree of soil fertility are considered. The main factors affecting rational land use are identified, and the new integral indicator ALE - (eng. Agricultural land use efficiency) is introduced - the efficiency of agricultural land use, which is a function of four variables: livestock production, crop production in terms of value, land and a weighted soil fertility criterion. It was also revealed that the combination of quantitative characteristics of soil area and soil fertility, on the one hand, and the price expression of returns from their use in one parameter makes the proposed integral indicator a universal tool for assessing agricultural land. It has been justified that its practical application allows us to give an objective assessment of agricultural land, taking into account the existing differences in soil fertility in the regions of the country with different soil values. The author concludes that quality of land has a significant impact on its productivity, and, consequently, the growth of agricultural production.
