Іntroduction. At present it is important to assess the role of each region in the formation of effective and rational land use to improve agricultural land use in Ukraine. One of the leading agricultural regions of Ukraine is Sumy region its agricultural lands occupying a significant part of the country. The problem is that a large part of the Sumy region suitable for the agricultural land use is plowed, which leads to a high level of the soil exhaustion. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to estimate the use of agricultural land in Sumy region, development and substantiation of possible directions for improving efficiency of land use region. Results. The efficiency of industrial activity depends on the total area of used land and its fertility. As already mentioned, Sumy region is one of the leading agrarian regions of Ukraine, its agricultural lands occupy a significant territory of the country. Therefore, the analysis of the efficiency of land use is the primary task for the development of agriculture in the region. Today, farms do not have a significant place in the development of the agrarian sector in Sumy region as the lands in their possession are not used effectively. The necessary condition for improving the management of land resources in the current circumstances is the right choice of economic forms at the local level, which will ensure the rational use of land, solution of environmental problems, inflow of funds to the local budget and, importantly, the creation of jobs. To increase the responsibility of landowners and land users for violating the requirements of land use, it is necessary to improve the mechanism of state control over the use and protection of land. A number of measures are proposed for solving existing problems in the use of land in agricultural sector of Sumy region. Conclusion. Thus, the article evaluated the state of agricultural land use of Sumy region, namely: the structure of agricultural land farms of the region is analyzed; It was discovered that farms play a a small role in the economy of agriculture of Sumy region, they have not sufficiently high ratios of the land resources use. The basis of the reasons for the low efficiency of land use in farms are factors of both micro-and macro-economic character, and overcoming these problems is possible only with the assistance and support of the state.
