摘要：The purpose of the study is to improve the method of economic assessment of limited land resources in the mountainous territories of the North Caucasus Federal district. The article analyzes specific shortcomings of the methodology currently used in Russia, which does not have a sufficiently objective scientific basis. Our approach is based on the synthesis of modern achievements of agro-economic science. Attempts to systematize the economic assessment of land in the agricultural sector of the Russian Federation depending on the land quality did not lead to positive results. This is first aspect of the problem we are studying. The second aspect is that the problem is not developed from the economic point of view. A positive differential rent is automatically included in the market value of agricultural products. The third aspect is the formation of tax and rental rates for agricultural land in direct correlation with the cadastral value. As a result, there is a research problem of objective assessment of limited agricultural land in agriculture. The method of economic evaluation of agricultural lands of the state Committee for land use of the Russian Federation has been improved.
