- Cattle commodity prices reduced during 2023, after significant growth in 2019-2022. This corresponded with significant increase in rural land values during that period, as a result of continued low interest rates, good seasons and high commodity prices. Since that time, despite lower commodity prices and higher interest rates, recent sales support the continued confidence.
- Other land recorded a minor increase with mining lease valuations valued in accordance with the Land Valuation Act 2010.
