The Public Properties Company (ETAD), a subsidiary of the National Development Fund, is launching a pilot scheme to lease agricultural properties, creating new opportunities to access arable land and boosting productive activity in rural Greece.
In the first phase of the programme, ETAD is offering 99 selected agricultural properties for lease, covering a total area of 2,263,413 sq m, across 11 regional units: Rhodope, Thessaloniki, Pella, Serres, Imathia, Kastoria, Preveza, Trikala, Evia, Achaia and Aetolia-Acarnania.
The initiative forms part of ETAD’s strategy to activate and put to productive use the agricultural real estate in its portfolio, with the aim of creating economic and social value for local communities.
It also aims to improve access to agricultural land, particularly for young professional farmers, expand opportunities for existing crops and help maintain productive activity in the Greek countryside.
To implement the programme, ETAD is expanding its digital application platform with a new online service through which interested parties can submit expressions of interest in directly leasing agricultural properties, either in their entirety or in part, exclusively for cultivation.
The leases are exclusively for cultivation, with a term of four years and the option to extend for a further four years.
The lease may be extended further by written agreement between the parties, provided that the lessee has fully complied with the terms of the lease agreement and has no overdue debts to ETAD.
Interested parties can find information about the application process and requirements on the ETAD official website and through its dedicated digital service.
Applications must be submitted online only, by 30 November 2026.
With this initiative, ETAD is expanding opportunities to make use of its portfolio, linking the management of public assets to the needs of the real economy, the strengthening of the primary sector and the sustainable development of rural Greece.
